Applicants’ wishes are usually aligned with our assessments, so far we haven’t deviated from the wishes of the applicants we ultimately choose to fund.
I think mhendric was asking whether an applicant’s anonymity preferences affect their chance of getting funding
Ah, sorry that makes a lot more sense haha!
All decisions are made by funders individually, so I can’t speak for everyone, but overall I don’t think it has influenced people much so far.
Of course, if we thought applicants had bad reasons for wanting to remain anonymous then that would be a red flag.
Thanks both, that’s exactly what I meant to be asking.
