>>10240010 (PB Notable) USG award for CoV-2 statistic models significantly less this year than 2016-'19
Went looking for the why on this one. Turns out it was a single but multi-year contract w/U of Mass, Amherst which began in 2016 and ends one year from now in 2021. Did the math in a spreadsheet - original award of $1.6 million less each continuation year's award. Looks like next year there will be ~ $40k left of the original. It may be that the contract was written with decreasing annual award amounts and (for once) isn't something nefarious.
