From: Barnaby Marsh Sent: Sunday, November , : To: Jeffrey E. Subject: Re: Yes I was going to talk to Martin toda=.. there are several parts. Some of the things I am figu=ing out on my end: For Joi- a first question is wh=ther this is connected with MIT (overhead) or goes another route. The latt=r seems desirable, but I hear that MIT is not too happy with this. We need=to makes sure there is not blockage. The bigger, more important issue is t=at the money enables something very unusual. I still am not convinced the =oi has all of the background details figured out. My team is working with =is people who do the background stuff, but it is not clear where the loyal=ies are here - to the Lab, or to Joi. For Martin- He has a c=rrent Templeton grant that runs through 2015 (already funded) and a second=now in the works that will begin in late 2015 and extend through 2019. The=second grant is not yet reviewed or approved. Any offer to match on the se=ond grant will help secure it. Basically, all he needs is a short letter o= statement (even from him) that says that additional donated money will au=ment and boost any of the ideas and work that he is working on in the gran=. However, it can be used any way he wishes, including new directions, suc= as special fellowships. The work is broad, so, it should be easy (as far =s you are concerned). On my end, the thing that is taking long with Martin=is just the documentation- each time we need a proposal, and he, I, and ot=ers have to put together the justification ourselves. He does not have a g=ant-writing team, like many others do. Sometimes, he uses grad students or=postdocs, but in these cases the result does not have the polish or comple=eness that is needed in a competitive process with adversarial peer review= There are reasons that I won't go into for why I don't want to cu= corners on this sort of thing, and so, it just takes longer. -B. =/div> On Sun, Nov=23, 2014 at 7:07 AM, jeffrey E. <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]»=wrote: can we talk abou= your funding for joi and martin so that our mutual involvment gets =he best result •=A0 please note The information=contained in this communication is confidential, may be attorney-client=privileged, may EFTA_R1_01779951 EFTA02595355 constitute inside information, and is intended only for=br>the use of the addressee.
