Give your mics the ultimate protection with the Gator GM-16-MIC-WP waterproof microphone case. The GM-16-MIC-WP has more to offer you than its submersibility. Made from Gator's ultra-tough NK-7 resin and packed with customized foam, this case will keep your microphones protected from bumps, jolts, and more. The interior has 16 microphone drops that are formed with thick foam to insure maximum protection plus a generous area for cables, belt packs or accessories. Do your mics a favor and order your Gator GM-16-MIC-WP waterproof hardshell case today.

Nothing kills good gear like a bad dose of water. Trust Gator's GM-16-MIC-WP to keep your precious microphones safe from harm. When Gator designed the GM-16-MIC-WP and the rest of their line of waterproof cases, they didn't just blow past the IP 67 certification for water and dust proof operation, they built it to pass the Mil-STD-8107 immersion test. That means you could toss your mics off a boat, and so long as it's in a Gator GM-16-MIC-WP, the only thing you have to worry about is who's going in after it.

Here's one last thing that makes buying a Gator GM-16-MIC-WP a total no-brainer: it's freakishly tough. You see, we've already covered that the mics you pack in your GM-16-MIC-WP are going to be safe and sound, but what about the case itself? Nothing to worry about there. The GM-16-MIC-WP is made from impact-proof, lightweight NK-7 resin, which easily meets the ATA-300 certification - that's far more resistance to shock, vibration, and impact than you'll experience on transatlantic flight though non-stop heavy turbulence. Add to all of this Gator's padlockable Easy Release Powerclaw Latching System and Soft grip comfort handle, and you've got a case that's not only more than equipped to handle the worst travel conditions, it'll make traveling through them as convenient as possible.

Throughout fiscal years 2016-2019 though, at-risk investigators, for whom the stakes are arguably greater, had lower funding rates than established investigators. Why? Three possible explanations include:

Figure 2 shows the scientist discussion rate which is defined as the percentage of applicants who have at least one application discussed in study section. In every fiscal year, there is at least a 10% difference between at-risk investigators and established investigators. In 2018 and 2019, 59% and 60% of at-risk investigators saw at least one of their applications make it to peer-review discussion compared to 71% of established investigators.

Figure 3 shows box plots of the distributions of best priority scores for those applicants who saw at least one of their applications make it to the discussion phase of peer review. The priority scores for at-risk investigators are only slightly worse than those of established investigators.

In summary, like with early-stageinvestigators, the picture for at-risk investigators has improved somewhat in2018 and 2019. Still their funding ratesare lower than those for established investigators who are assured ofcontinuing funding for at least one more fiscal year. One possible explanation is that the peerreview system is more likely to send applications of established investigatorsto the discussion phase.

Totally untrue. I never heard of so called shadow grant writers.

I feel devastated for science grant activities. Where is Collins.? Who speaks to Congress?

We are becoming a third works counts u with our low low budget.

Personally I feel that all these metrics on grants and too ha is a waste of time. You all should be lobbying Congress and the Administration for adequate budgets.

Totally agree. Particularly because the current mid-term investigators are those that started their careers during the last recession, when it was way more difficult to get funded than the current ESI.

However, somehow we survived, we keep productive by all means with private and local funds. But that is not enough for the NIH, if we do to have an NIH funding history that means that we do not deserve it? We cannot get into the NIH funding system. Preliminary data and publications are thus generated with limited funding, but that is not considered during the review process. We have struggled enough to be taken into consideration, I believe.

Maybe if NIH had requested three decades ago that Institution trustee contribute to sustain faculty that are at risk based on some agreed metrics (they do greatly appreciate the overhead that is provided with the NIH grants !!) there will be less at risk situations. In fact, that is what the current Director suggested when he was appointed but nothing was done. The statistical games shown are not helpful with the heart of the matter; Institutions need to be cajoled by NIH to provide these bridge funds.

I agree, being able to respond to criticisms in real time would be really helpful (and prevent the wasted time of writing and rewriting applications in successive rounds of submission). In the UK this is done by interview of the applicant with the review panel after the grant is shortlisted.

There should be mechanism for NIH bridge funding, if you are at risk. For instance, if a PI has consistently published in respected journals and ends up without funding, s/he should be able to get, say $20K or $30K per year (say, up to 3 years) to fund at least a grad student plus supplies to keep a lab afloat, research going, and skills alive. That would be a small investment for NIH with potentially big impact.

I think one of the best strategies is to provide an R21 funding mechanism that is used towards getting preliminary data for an R01. This would bridge potential loss in funding that would occur when a major award is loss. Once you lose funding, the reviewers look at this poorly, and i think that can drive the scores down when reviewing R01s. We are not supposed to consider that an investigator is already funded by multiple R01s, but there is never a message that one should ignore whether there is lack of current NIH funding.

Enhanced subsidence above cool sea surface temperatures is conducive to the development of a strong boundary layer temperature inversion, which favors the development of low-level stratocumulus clouds (e.g., Klein and Hartmann 1993). A strong boundary layer inversion is associated with a decoupling of the boundary layer from the free troposphere, inhibiting dry air entrainment from the free troposphere and promoting the maintenance of low stratocumulus clouds within the boundary layer (e.g., Wood and Bretherton 2006). Cold advection into the midlatitudes can also increase low cloud cover by enhancing turbulent fluxes from the relatively warm ocean surface into the relatively cold and dry air above (Norris and Iacobellis 2005; Zelinka et al. 2018; Miyamoto et al. 2018). In contrast, warmer sea surface temperatures strengthen the moisture gradient between the boundary layer and the free troposphere, enhancing the effectiveness of mixing dry air into the boundary layer and consequently decreasing low cloud amount and optical depth (Rieck et al. 2012; Frey and Kay 2018).
