On Sun, Nov 23, 2014 at 8:38 AM, Barnaby Marsh < <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvmr, ');> wro=e: =es I was going to talk to Martin today.. there are several parts. <=div> Some of the things I am figuring out on my end: For Joi- a first question is whether this is connected with MIT (ove=head) or goes another route. The latter seems desirable, but I hear that M=T is not too happy with this. We need to makes sure there is not blockage.=The bigger, more important issue is that the money enables something very =nusual. I still am not convinced the Joi has all of the background details=figured out. My team is working with his people who do the background stuf=, but it is not clear where the loyalties are here - to the Lab, or to Joi= For Martin- He has a current Templeton grant that runs thro=gh 2015 (already funded) and a second now in the works that will begin in =ate 2015 and extend through 2019. The second grant is not yet reviewed or =pproved. Any offer to match on the second grant will help secure it. Basic=lly, all he needs is a short letter or statement (even from him) that says=that additional donated money will augment and boost any of the ideas and =ork that he is working on in the grant. However, it can be used any way he=wishes, including new directions, such as special fellowships. The work 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 time=we need a proposal, and he, I, and others have to put together the justifi=ation ourselves. He does not have a grant-writing team, like many others d=. Sometimes, he uses grad students or postdocs, but in these cases the res=lt does not have the polish or completeness that is needed in a competitiv= process with adversarial peer review. There are reasons that I won't =o into for why I don't want to cut corners on this sort of thing, and =o, it just takes longer. I agree that we should talk about ho= to get the best result... I can call anytime in the next few days, just l=t me know when. EFTA_R1_01779449 EFTA02595103  =span>-B.
