the other way to look at your argument is that going in preliminary order merely further hardens the influence of the three assigned reviewers. but at any rate, I'm not sure an extra 20% triage makes these issues change back to the dynamics of going in order of preliminary scores

Prior ordering by prelim score in my experience led to greater score spreading. Current randomization to me encourages compression because of oh shit we gave out these fours earlier but now discussing these others that are better we need to have them above those 4s but maybe early 4s were 5s/6s

I mean, everyone is revved up at the start of meetings and in the just prior days, review order was by preliminary score. did that result in better review versus the very most recent approach? what I see here is the potential to cut off day #2. that's a savings we can see. also, SRO writing resumes.

These proposals need to be routed to study sections that would normally meet Feb-Mar in 2026. The continuing resolution runs to Jan 30th. Just in time for any additional shutdown shenanigans to hit the next round of grant review meetings. oh joy, oh rapture.

Maybe I’m being overly suspicious, but do you think “the fix is in” and there are Heritage Foundation/Project 2025-approved candidates already lined up to fill these positions?
HF/P2025 made no secret of their plan to recruit & vet MAGA lawyers to stock the mid-level ranks at many federal agencies.

Had friends giving up faculty jobs to take NIH leadership positions, only to be fired a few months later. Universities did not take them back due to hiring freezes. Universities need to commit to hiring back their former faculty taking such risks.

I was asked to be on a study section last week, but I had to decline because Jay Bhattacharya knows who I am and has attacked me personally. I can’t let some poor SRO get into trouble or endanger her job by putting me on a study section as an ad hoc. www.respectfulinsolence.com/2025/03/06/j...
