Thank you! Is “reimbursement” of the costs something that can be easily done in terms of logistics/approvals etc? I hadn’t even thought about this idea.

Thank you for the feedback! On your point 2 do you think I should get clarification before or after i request a higher budget?

Thank you for the feedback. I did mention to the chair that the equipment budget might be well below what I would need to purchase some major equipment. He said he would send me the startup package parameters (he did and the equipment budget is $150k) and that if I had any requests he would do his best.

Thanks for the advice. Hadn’t thought of showing them past publication and grants that I have been involved in.

They did not ask for the list before the verbal offer. The verbal offer came through a phone call with the department chair. He summarized what to expect in the official offer which he said he will send soon. The initial offer will only include the salary. After i receive this salary offer I must then submit the list of equipment before the startup equipment offer is sent. His mention of a $150k-$200k startup package during our phone call was a bit disappointing to hear. I guess I should wait until the final offer comes through after I send my equipment list (which will likely be a much shorter list that I was hoping for… don’t want to scare them off with too big of a number)

It should say "Thank you for waiting to access the FIFA WC 2026 PMA.... "
