Does any see the option for a no cost extension on eRA Commons now? Folks are telling me that this may not be universal. Thank you for any information you can provide.

If you're a scientist that serves on an NSF panel that got cancelled today, I'd love to talk to you about it for an NPR story. DM, email or reach out on signal.
