Björn BrembsWow, the one critical review (the other was over the top enthusiastic) of our latest grant proposal beats everything I have seen in 25 years of grant writing:
1. Already the summary of our proposal is not even close
2. Proposes experiments that are already in the grant
3. Criticizes experiments we don't propose
4. States that we lack expertise (which we have) for the experiments we did not propose
5. Knows the results of our research even before the experiments are funded
Laurent Gatto@brembs I hope you are allowed a rebuttal before final decision!
We only get them after the final decision. I'll just re-submit the exact same grant with a rebuttal, then they'll dismiss both previous reviews and it starts again (usually a 6 month turn-around time).
@brembs sorry to hear that. 🤞for the next round.
