Additionally, these changes were identified as a result of recent program administration change and the creation of a DoD SMART instruction. The original filing only included the cost to establish a SMART Information Management System (SIMS) and the cost to maintain the system. In consultation with subject matter expert, the STEM Development Office better understands the burden costs and therefore, included all cost to the government.
