It is interesting though that the faculty who have the least to gain (in terms of usage) have turned out to be the ones who have put the most effort into providing what I need. I understand the lack of motivation when it comes to the verbiage, but the biosketch and funding data?

Third, other than the PI of the grant, none of them are gonna get "credit" if the grant gets funded.Comrade PhysioProfhttp://physioprof.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019181.post-41770503317801741472009-07-14T15:12:42.839-04:002009-07-14T15:12:42.839-04:00Ah...
