Funding work 2009

 

This small blog lists all the funding opportunities that I should react to, the amounts they distritbute, the amount of necessary textual product that I produce in response to them, the acceptance rate (where known for each case), and the outcome. I suspect this will be a dismal reading for those interested in productive research, and similarly joyful reading for those interested in increasing the workload for scientist. I plan to list all levels of funding, in order to display the breadth of the work necessary. Of course, one may say that this is a luxury problem, as having the opportunity to apply for funding in itself should be beneficial, but it certainly does not always seem like that, when producing applications for the hidden drawers of bureaucracy.

Here is the list of presently known deadlines and sources:
