Done
For the past two months, I have been working feversihly on a National Insitutes of Health R01 grant application, all the while also pushing papers forward and putting out the inevitable fires.
This morning the grant went out the door. There is always a weird feel to this moment. We've entered the eye of the storm, and the feverish editing, double-checking, etc. of even just yesterday is replaced by....calm. Silence. The great Still.
Depending on how long the first round of review takes, we could be in the eye for some time. There are some little things to do (eg further, more slow-paced editing for greater efficiency to find space to address inevitable reviewers' comments). But for now, all we can do is wait.
