Also it may be the case if someone who the grant-makers would be excited about had applied, they would had given them support, but there weren’t such applicants. (Note that Bay Area biosec got the the grant)
When I spoke to ~3 people about it in the Bay, none of them knew the grant existed or that there was an option for them to work on community building in the bay full time.
