Jesus this old canard again.

Why? Equal success rate quota affirmative action hasn’t been changed. New Director expresses further intent to fund ESI/NI. Pickups are emboldened.

Anyone can still rescue grants for discussion for any reason, including ESI status.

Then this is a win for you. 😉

And does that skip justification have to account for the deficits versus the reasons did funding each grant with a worse score? One doubts.

Did everything that wasn’t below a 34 really get a tailored and unique justification? A lot of apps. This is what I’m skeptical of.

I will share how things worked when I was at NIGMS back in the day.

I am confident in varies across institutes (as almost everything does).

This sort of questions the scope of the other policy of “we’re gonna diminish the role of peer review” that is being bruited about.

I’ve never been super clear on the firmness of not funding ND grants. At one point long ago I was told only NRFing absolutely prevents funding. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Hopefully the prelim data thing will settle down “unfair to those who made deadline” complaints.

I've learned that some folks cannot 'hear' a song in their heads. At one level, it would be nice to not get songs stuck in one's head. But vastly outweighed by the number of times I've been bored and passed the time by 'playing' favorite albums in my head.
