A P/W lab student who had his F31-DIV terminated just got a very fundable score on the (same) F31 he submitted again as a new application in April. Its almost as if his science and aptitude had nothing to do with "DEI" 🤔 Hope this inspires others with unfairly terminated awards to try again!

Seeking input: Our student's active F31-DIV award has been terminated. (more accurately, SRO said that they didn't expect year 2 to be awarded). He is going to submit another proposal for the April deadline. Do we mention the terminated award? Sympathy points? Or increased scrutiny?
