通过关系知道了一个proposal拿到了fundable的分数
一个senior直接让我去找PO哭穷(直接email)

另一个senuor说
Before they know you and like your work. you don't tell people ur poor.
THat's not the first impression you want to give.
They are not charity. They want to fund people who are good scientists.
Once they establish that, then you tell them that you do have needs。
所以让我和PO约电话聊,先别哭穷

我不知道哪种做法比较好,
大家觉得呢?

I agree with the 2nd opinion.

you don't get funding because you need it badly - many people need funding
badly, but funding agency is not a charity, and can't give it to everyone.

if you have a fund-able score, you don't really have to do anything (because nothing you do will change anything - for better or worse).

but if you really want to hear what PO thinks, wait for the summary
statement, go over it carefully, make some notes, then ask the PO for a
phone call to discuss the summary statement - about the critiques,
scientifically. again nothing you say will likely change anything.

it may matter a little bit if you are in the borderline, in such case, if
you can convince the PO the critiques are manageable (or inaccurate), you
may be asked to write a 1-page response so that he/she can stand up for you in the council meeting. but there is no guarantee.

the question is how long "do you" get the statement

- it depends on study section and SRO, some post one week after the meeting, more often is about a month. read the email your SRO sent to you before the study section meeting.

To clarify I'm talking about NSF proposal.

Have no idea how NSF works and whether PO considers tenure. POs in NIH for
sure. Sometimes they even ask without you telling them.
