Ark: Projects Explanations File

Projects are operations carried out within each Division pertaining to a specific scientific goal set by the Projects Lead Researcher. Projects are announced by Lead Researchers who are in charge, who are also expected to setup Project plans and budgets and submit them to the Division Directors or Division Prefects for approval.
== Projects Personnel: ==
-Lead Researcher = Lead Researchers answer directly to Division Directors of their Prefects. The Lead Researcher proposes the stated goal(s) of the Projects and writes up their general budget and plans. Any documentation from the Project is not considered official until signed by the Lead Researcher. 
-Adjunct Researcher = More experienced researchers chosen by the Lead Researcher to act as his own assistants. 
-Researcher = Majority of personnel in a Project will be simple Researchers, each assigned to a parent Division and called in to perform a specific function for the Project. Researchers are normally hand-picked by the Lead Researcher or a designated Adjunct Researcher. 
-Assistant Researcher = These are new personnel, normally assigned to basic functionary duties for most of the Project. Non-dangerous functions are often assigned to them, inherently dangerous functions are left for the Extants. 
-Extant = Extants are often criminals who have been promised shorter jail terms in return for service to the Ark. They have to perform inherently dangerous functions such as interacting directly with Anomalies and carrying out maintenance and janitorial work for the Ark.
