Dear all,
it is with great disappointment that I share with you the NSF decision
about the grant.
We are NOT invited to the 'proposal' phase.
Here below the message Phil received yesterday.
The Reviewers comments clearly indicate the limited lab endorsement and
commitment as a significant obstacle. This requires a discussion with
the lab management.
If Jlab considers BDX an experiment worth running should put all
possible efforts to make it happen. Especially pro-actively endorsing
and supporting our requests to external agencies, since an internal
funding seems to be out of discussion. This is a crucial issue for our
future commitment for BDX at JLab that needs to be discussed. Next Friday
meeting will be a good occasion for sharing our opinions and define a
work plan.
Cheers
Marco

/*Dear Dr. Cole,
I, along with the Mid-scale Research Infrastructure-1 (Mid-scale RI-1)
Working Group, regret to inform you that the Mid-scale RI-1 preliminary
proposal referenced above will not be invited as a full proposal.
Mid-scale RI-1 preliminary proposals were reviewed either internally by
groups of NSF Program Officers or externally using standard NSF merit
review procedures, based on the review criteria described in the
solicitation. The review process is described in the Context Statement
which can be found by accessing your preliminary proposal through
FastLane. Further information on the decision to not invite a full
proposal may be found in the PO Comment.
If you have questions about this competition or the review of your
pre-proposal, please contact the Cognizant Program Officer indicated below.
Sincerely,
Mark Coles
Acting Division Director
Division Of Physics
