I saw this on LinkedIn and it makes me both enraged and consoled. The difference between who got an #NHMRC #IdeasGrant and who didn’t may have been a matter of a single score from a single reviewer. Those that got ‘Outstanding’ score 6 but didn’t get it were just as deserving, but unlucky…

It's an all time low in both the percentage and number of #NHMRC #IdeasGrant funded. Previous lowest percentage was 9.8% in the 2020. However 283 grants were funded that year, this year it's under 200.
