Oooooone last pass through the research plan to make sure it isn't stupid.

It's not as bad as it looks, because I can crib boilerplate text for a lot of those things. But still, it's quite bad enough.

It's a good thing you're clever, efficient, and wonderful, or you'd never get all that done in time!

I wish I were competent to offer to help.

I'll be thinking of you. Do remember to eat lunch and have enough to drink, because it will be too long a day not to.

Sending good granting type vibes your way. To start you day with a smile - a sentence fragment from an exam I marked...
"Mortality on average being a reasonable long term state"

Nice icon choice.

It's a lot to do, but you'll do it.

I feel your pain. I have a much smaller proposal due today, for pro bono services for designing a public relations campaign for the NGO I work for. It's daunting enough -- yours sounds *horrid*.

Good luck. You'll get it done!

All bits crossed!

On the upside, at least now it's an upload thing. I remember my advisor in grad school jumping in his car to drive the damn things down to NIH so they wouldn't be late.

We could help by writing your biosketch! You might not want to send our version, but you would almost certainly be entertained.

Good luck!
