Funding on this particular project ends in June 2016, but then the start-up kicks in and I can keep it afloat for a while. Since the preliminary data may take some time, this resubmission may not go in until July actually. There were definitely issues with the grant that the reviewers didn't like, but they made it very clear that this would not be fundable, so that there was no doubt it would be fished out of the ESI pile or picked for bridge.The new PIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432035024665768151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544393461869133373.post-25182239744220742622015-11-15T13:39:23.055-05:002015-11-15T13:39:23.055-05:00Though nobody will ever admit to this, I think rev...Though nobody will ever admit to this, I think reviewers are keenly aware of how much you "need" the money, and that is reflected in their scores. I know from reading your blog that you have a lot of other support. I think there's a lot of "wait your turn" going on at study sections. I can't tell you how many times I've heard of people getting two grants just after they've had a three year dry spell and are about to shut down. I think the same is true with ESIs. They know you have a startup fund and can survive on starter grants for a while. Of course most of this is subconscious and is never discussed, but your experience is pretty similar to mine, and I think it supports my theory. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
