Advice from a Friend

Reviewer 7651 - Grant Applicant - applied in 2025

You should not bother applying. They will reject you without reading your proposal. I think they are using AI to deny people. We got back a boilerplate response that clearly did not correspond to our proposal. They refused to justify their response, even if we conditioned it on never reapplying for a grant at Spencer.

Cons

Inadvertently exerts negative influence in the field, Difficult to work with
