This document provides an overview of the tracking group's activities related to the Linear Collider Research and Development (LCRD) and the University of California Linear Collider (UCLC) proposal status from the workshop held in January 2004. It highlights the funding outcomes of various tracking projects, including collaborations with institutions such as Indiana University and Louisiana Tech. Additionally, it outlines the SiLC (Silicon tracking for the Linear Collider) collaboration, which comprises 18 international institutes and focuses on advancing silicon tracking technologies. It also addresses future coordination and research directions.

Development 1: Funding • LCRD/UCLC Proposal Status • Proposal reviewed; components ranked Sept 2002 • DOE (LCRD) top-ranked proposals funded as supplements to existing grants • UCLC re-reviewed as individual proposals; did not fare well • Funded tracking groups: • Sci-Fi Int. Tracker (Indiana/Notre Dame) • GEM Forward Tracking (Louisiana Tech)

Main general focus of interest in each Institute (From Aurore S.-N.)
LCRD/UCLC Funding (Check in with Jim Brau) Any new developments (R&D timelines, white papers, anything else?)
Group-Wide Activity • Between Santa Cruz (6/02) and Arlington (1/03), we had a series of three phone meetings (gaseous tracking, solid-state tracking, and simulation). • Do we want to replicate this in Oct/Nov? • Is there some other model or mode of coordination that we want to consider?
