Their rule of thumb is that you should always tell funders that they are your only hope. The team is right that we will not pursue the "Poetry of Character Development" unless Templeton funds it, and so we should tell them that they are what makes this possible, but I have the instinct that Templeton will like the fact that their money will leverage other money and that there are others supporting-- the larger initiative thus increasing chances of wide impact. What do you think? I would like to send you the budget part of the application next week for a quick reaction. May I? It will be a budget created by Harvard's sponsored research so it shouldn't be outlandish though it might be dumb in some ways. I'd rather not be dumb, and I'd really like to get this grant (200K) and to begin to build a larger relationship with Templeton. Do you think your science guy/group might talk on film with me about metaphor? lisa Elisa New Powell M.
