RE: Sponsorship request

[Steven Krivit]

This nano opportunity came up more or less at the last minute and it was a 
surprise to me because I never sent in an official abstract. The 2-week 
delta between acceptance and due date made it challenging to get quick 
funding to support this project. I had a quarterly budget in place, which 
is/was extremely tight and did not have the foresight to plan for 
contingencies such as this.
