@Tom Barnes thank you for this insight. Your team and Caleb must work under a lot of pressure and this post, even when important, must not be nice for you to read.
It was clear to me from our EAIF applications and interactions that your team is overworked, understaffed and or burned out. I think it’s so important that you are honest about that, and you work on a process that keeps your quality high. It seems from this post that EAIF is not meeting timelines, not communication clearly, and it was clear from the feedback on our application that it was not carefully reviewed (I can share the feedback and the errors and inconsistencies in that).
Can you limit applications somehow and focus on making better decisions on fewer applications with clear communication? I’d rather wait for your team to carefully consider our application, so I don’t have to waste time drafting it every 6 months and it not being carefully reviewed.
