4.0 SCHEDULE AND RESOURCES
Members of the Battelle team have already begun data collection activities related to this test plan. Team members have registered with Google Alert and added key Minnesota UPA terms to TTI's existing Vocus contract. Team members have signed up for the MARQ2 updates and are receiving notices. Team members also attended one of the initial stakeholder outreach forums in August 2008. Team members are on the distribution list for the UPA outreach activities being conducted by CTS.
Members of the Battelle team will continue to monitor these on-line resources over the course of the pre- and post-deployment periods. Team members will also review reports and documents from partnering agencies and information distributed by CTS and other information available from partnership agencies. Table 4-1 presents the schedule for the pre- and post-deployment data collection, analysis, and reports.
