The government is on it, brother. When seconds count they are only hours away. Margaret in 6th floor accounting at the FDA processing and administration department will get to the proper forms to put into the system when she is notified by her supervisor that they have received the proper data from the CDC regarding the request. It all has to be put on form IFC-1367, then once that is filed and approved by Terry in the Office of Study Coordination gets his system notification. Keep in mind the software upgrade that is being implemented this week is causing some synchronization problems and the Office of Technology will be sending their subcontractors to survey any problems. If they find any problems the OMB will procure a work ticket to address the glitches. That is done through competitive bidding and will need to have an RFP produced to solicit proposals from acceptable vendors. Once the 10 week selection process is complete they will be given a NTP that will require them to respond to the glitch within 120 day window commencing at the point all the COI are filed and the contracts are approved back with the OMB and checked by the FDA purchasing director. So once that notification comes through Terry can approve the request to consider giving cytodyn financial assistance. After that, all it that will take is a level 3 audit of cytodyn financials. There is a big back up in the auditors right now with the pandemic and everything, so it shouldnt take more than another 120 days once the request for the level 3 audit is accepted. Then once that is complete and all the boxes checked we can start reviewing the proposed study protocol. Everyone is working from home in the protocol department so its taking a bit longer than normal these days.
But once all that is done this baby is gonna start ROLLIN!
