Thanks for your answer; it sounds like you basically understand the game the same way I do. Unfortunately, I can’t offer useful advice, because I’m an Earning-To-Give engineer with no experience in science work, grantmaking or grant-receiving. (There’s a project I’d like funding for, but haven’t worked hard on pitches because I’m contractually “locked in” to my current job.)
