Hunter,

Most definitely, I will provide responses to Vadym's inquiries shortly (likely tomorrow due to the need for Ukrainian translation).
Best,
Mary

Dear Devon,
Please find few initial points to be discussed for the purposes of analyzing the potential of this as you called, “Science Ukraine” project.

1.       Financing.  As I understand the Metabiota was a subcontract to principal contactor of the DoD B&V.  Today they seem to state that financing is closed. What was the reason of stopping the projects and financing of the projects?  They look for a new financing. Do they expect to receive it again from B&V or they look for else were?

2.       What kind of partnership Metabiota is looking for in Ukraine? From potential non-governmental player in Kiev? Rebuilt the ties with respective ministries in Ukraine, and on the basis of that reinstate the financing from the B&V? Or they look for partnership in managing  projects in Ukraine, PR with Government institutions here, financing of the projects?

(( Metabiota counterparts in Ukraine were ( i.e. final beneficiary and the recipient of the results of the projects) were ministries of from Ukraine, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Health.

From the Ukrainian governmental point of you, it looks like standard International Assistance project, that could be technical, financial, etc))

3.       The principal contactor B&V seems to be also the party that operates in Ukraine on the similar or the same projects. There is no competition here?

Best regards, vadym
