…losing a whole year…


Weeeed in the wiiiiind…

well, not exactly, but I have spent a buttload of time on this stupid proposal. I mean the Department of Homeland Security proposal. After a furious re-submission period over the last few weeks (occupying lots and lots of time I would have preferred to spend doing other things), just this morning we were informed that funding had been “delayed.” For at least two years. So, feel free to do the research if you like, but on your own dime.

To recap:

Spring 2007 – Original proposal
Summer 2007 – Tweaking, re-submitting, etc.
Fall 2007 – see “Summer 2007″
February 2007 – Awarded $300,000 per year, for 6 years
March 2007 – Psych! Suckers! No money for you.
March 2007 – Re-awarded $75,000 per year for 3 years
April 2007 – Lots more frantic writing, rescaling projects to the smaller amount
May 2007 – Award reduced to $75,000 per year for 2 years
May 2007 – Award “delayed” until 2010
May 2007 – DHS can bite me
