The Belmont Forum/G8HORCs Panel of Experts (PoE) meetings for the Freshwater Security and Coastal Vulnerability themes were held in late March, 2013. Representatives were present from every Belmont Forum/G8HORC member country on the PoE.

PoE recommendations for funding have been transmitted to national funding agencies for final decisions. Internal funding agency processes may take approximately two months to process. The Belmont Forum expects to notify lead PIs regarding the final status of their proposals in due course, following internal funding agency approval. Until then, funding agency representatives will not be able to answer queries on any individual proposal funding status or provide any feedback on proposals.

A full list of funded proposals will also be posted on the Belmont Forum website after final decisions have been made.
