I'll be mourning mine for quite a while.
It was with a PO who has managed my funded grants before, and I had never heard them be more excited about likelihood of funding than this one.
It is impossible to explain to civilians how it feels to finally, FINALLY, land a clearly within-payline NIH grant score and then have it go unfunded because of all this regime bullshit.
You all have my sympathies. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it.
