A brand new faculty member (elsewhere) asked me when they should put in their first R01. Given January 25, recycled challenge grants, new format, etc, any thoughts?
if it were me, I'd do it as soon as I felt like I had a decent proposal ready. With only three cycles per year, you only get so many shots on goal, and all feedback/experience is good... IMHO...

I think it's likely that a new R01 could get lost in the shuffle in January -- as you said, you only have 2 shots on goal. It may take a few cycles to flush the "challenged" grants out of the system.

Google wave's going to be hard to put through its paces w/o more invites. I need my group Waving.
Am Google waving on a science project now. Wave seems a cross between Gmail and Basecamp. Robots are cool. Has promise, but definitely a learning curve.
