If I should die before I wake Just grab my cash and buy a cake. It really wasn't quite so bad To write this thing But I'm so sad I didn't write it long ago. And failing that, I write these lines In stark reminder of my crimes And pecadillos that I know Did victimize my friends and all The granty people down the hall. Who treat me far too well, and so Should not put up with me at all. I'll dine on water, and on gruel Awaiting my next grant renewal. The last I did, it seemed well written At least it seemed when I was sittin' With my 'top across my lap. But then I woke up from my nap To gaze upon my limpid screen And see what I had never seen: The text of mediocrity The megalo-verbosity The drivel that was oh, so clear and seemed so clever and so droll was not enough to make the roll At NSF, who by design Let pass a long and baleful time Then failed to fund my grant last year. And tho, unfunded, high and dry, I never weep, or sniff, or cry. I merely seek for that employ That suits the bad-grant-writing boy, Who cannot publish, write or speak, And hit the skids downtown last week. I do not care, I really don't It doesn't bug me, so I won't Complain at all. I don't, I'm not... Hey! I'm just talkin' here, so what? Another grant I must submit? One more report, as yet unwrit? I laugh, I cry, my sides are split. Cut me some slack, I'm over it. Chad Nusbaum serves as Co-Director, Sequencing and Analysis Program, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA.

The Assistant Deputy Secretary may use one or more of these priorities and requirements for competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2010 and later years. The Assistant Deputy Secretary intends to use these proposed priorities and requirements to provide Federal financial assistance to IHEs to develop, or review or improve, and fully integrate, their campus-based all hazards emergency management planning efforts. We intend to grant awards under these proposed priorities and requirements to increase the capacity of IHEs to prevent/mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from the full range of emergency events. We invite you to submit comments regarding this notice. To ensure that your comments have maximum effect in developing the notice of final priorities and requirements, we urge you to identify clearly the specific proposed priority or requirement that each comment addresses.
