I was invited to join the USDA proposal led by UC Davis, and we need to submit required documents to them by October 3. I was advised by our Financial Operations Manager (cc'd) to seek your approval for this late submission as RED requires submission 48 hours prior to the sponsor deadline (please see our email chain attached). I hope this is still possible so please advise.

Please help adjust the highlighted numbers in the file so that the total will match the UCR subaward ($22,500 in each of Years 1 and 2 and $17,500 in Year 3) as allocated in the UCD budget file attached. Please also help have the Commitment Form signed as well. I am not sure if a Kuali is needed, so please advise. I am leaving for Africa this Thursday, so I hope to get this done by then.</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Many thanks,</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Lam</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br></div><div id="x_m_5773215354666715450m_-2947265091416641628Signature"><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">-----</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bao-Lam Huynh</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Assistant Professor of Nematology</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Department of Nematology, UC Riverside</div><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">2251A Spieth Hall; Lab Tel: 951-827-7330 </div></div><hr style="direction: ltr; display: inline-block; width: 1045.5px;"><div id="x_m_5773215354666715450m_-2947265091416641628divRplyFwdMsg"><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b>From:</b> Christine H Diepenbrock <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWAac49b3b2-d68d-680b-b70a-d88e88189e3b" href="mailto:chdiepenbrock@ucdavis.edu">chdiepenbrock@ucdavis.edu</a>><br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, September 30, 2025 12:06 PM<br><b>To:</b> Bao Lam Huynh <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA3ab8874f-1055-594c-b329-31295db3f50d" href="mailto:baolamh@ucr.edu">baolamh@ucr.edu</a>>; Sarah E Light <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA81ba1f74-70bb-a560-e13e-6cf3073e02fe" href="mailto:selight@ucanr.edu">selight@ucanr.edu</a>>; Michelle M Leinfelder-Miles <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA2bf12538-5819-8901-8ed1-85847c2d58db" href="mailto:mmleinfeldermiles@ucanr.edu">mmleinfeldermiles@ucanr.edu</a>>; Nicholas E Clark <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA87223969-7341-b75c-295a-841131eb586e" href="mailto:neclark@ucanr.edu">neclark@ucanr.edu</a>>; Giuliano Carneiro Galdi <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA23df012f-f0e2-3157-e237-fba5bfc5be6a" href="mailto:gcgaldi@ucanr.edu">gcgaldi@ucanr.edu</a>>; Antonia Palkovic <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA480c00b0-6e97-c082-fe3b-039fd3a40667" href="mailto:alpalkovic@ucdavis.edu">alpalkovic@ucdavis.edu</a>>; Lam Bao Huynh <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA279ffc71-413d-d766-333b-db00f7428661" href="mailto:baolam.huynh@ucr.edu">baolam.huynh@ucr.edu</a>>; Ramachandra Varma Penmetsa <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA0a056fff-d90b-3ffc-2329-fba4063a0b24" href="mailto:rvpenmetsa@ucdavis.edu">rvpenmetsa@ucdavis.edu</a>>; Mandeep Singh <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA429a44f3-457e-8c6e-6cff-b500bb94cf29" href="mailto:mdpsingh@ucanr.edu">mdpsingh@ucanr.edu</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Laura Campos <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWAe0c01ca4-0e1a-9a54-a3d6-1589c815d8eb" href="mailto:lacampos@ucdavis.edu">lacampos@ucdavis.edu</a>>;<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA3c9c9b52-6936-c3fc-b8ea-19eb80310ca3" href="mailto:proberts@ucr.edu">proberts@ucr.edu</a> <<a class="OWAAutoLink" id="OWA721c6e2a-b7c3-f638-bb76-eec1e42a3b76" href="mailto:proberts@ucr.edu">proberts@ucr.edu</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> RE: Thread for preparing a USDA cultivar development proposal</div><div style="direction: ltr;"> </div></div><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Hi Lam,</span></p><div style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; direction: ltr;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Yes, we can be a bit flexible on timing.
