integration and assembly tasks should be well understood prior to CD-2.
A rough “technically-limited” funding profile was derived by the project team from the AY
cost and schedule loaded profile. Cumulative planned R&D and PED work in FY 2007 will
inundate available funding (assuming this work is fully committed) and will leave no available
funding contingency for solving problems or maintaining schedule. The adequacy of R&D/PED
funding is also dependent on resolution of the acquisition strategy. The FY 2008 funding assumes
construction funds that require CD-2 approval. Once a funding profile is established, the project
team should review its resource-loaded schedule to ensure success on NOνA’s commitment to
DOE.

5.3 Recommendations
1. Develop FTE resource estimates for the NOνA project (including zero cost
physicists) immediately and communicate the project’s needs throughout laboratory
management and the NOνA collaboration.
2. Recommend approval of CD-1.
