Following a successful pilot investigation to determine the feasibility of monitoring bright gamma-ray AGN at 7 mm throughout the year (C1730), we propose a continuation of the project into a one year phase of observations that will support the Fermi mission following its June 2008 launch. The goal of this project is to monitor Fermi-identified AGN at 4.8, 8.6, 17, 19, 38, and 40 GHz at monthly intervals, tracking variability in the AGN (in particular flaring activity) that can be related to gamma-ray variability observed by Fermi and pc-scale structural variability observed by our concurrent Southern Hemipshere VLBI monitoring program in support of Fermi. The ATCA, VLBI, and Fermi data will contribute to a multi-wavelength AGN database that will help us understand the origins of high energy emission in AGN.
