The latter seems desirable, but I hear th=t MIT is not too happy with this. We need to makes sure there is not block=ge. The bigger, more important issue is that the money enables something v=ry unusual. I still am not convinced the Joi has all of the background det=ils figured out. My team is working with his people who do the background =tuff, but it is not clear where the loyalties are here - to the Lab, or to=loi. For Martin- He has a current Templeton grant that runs =hrough 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 second grant will help secure it. B=sically, all he needs is a short letter or statement (even from him) that =ays that additional donated money will augment and boost any of the ideas =nd work that he is working on in the grant. However, it can be used any wa= he wishes, including new directions, such as special fellowships. The wor= is broad, so, it should be easy (as far as you are concerned). On my end,=the thing that is taking long with Martin is just the documentation- each =ime we need a proposal, and he, I, and others have to put together the jus=ification ourselves. He does not have a grant-writing team, like many othe=s do. Sometimes, he uses grad students or postdocs, but in these cases the=result does not have the polish or completeness that is needed in a compet=tive process with adversarial peer review. There are reasons that I won -=;t go into for why I don't want to cut corners on this sort of thing, =nd so, it just takes longer. EFTA_R1_01780281 EFTA02595553  I agree that we should talk abou= how to get the best result... I can call anytime in the next few days, ju=t let me know when. </=iv>-B.
