I am so sorry - for them and for you. Have been ousted from admin roles I know how sucky it feels. Anything that takes choice away from us hurts. My hope is the next chapter is even better.

Jeremy, you are a real light to us in this time of darkness. Not understanding the system makes everything so much harder.

My NEI proposal previously assigned to cancelled February Council round now says in Commons status page:
Advisory Council (AC)
Meeting Date: 04/21/2025
Meeting Time: 10:00.
Anyone know whether that could be part of expedited review or is NEI Council might really be meeting then?

With twice as many grants to fund (from two study sections rounds), how will they get all the paperwork done to fund before end of fiscal year? Might they ask for JIT submissions early? I don’t usually get asked til after Council meets so the info is “fresh.” How can we help POs under such pressure?

What does this mean? “we are working toward strategies to preserve the breadth of high impact research at UW, particularly through shared infrastructure, to the greatest extent possible.” This is grim.
