      Meanwhile - those working on #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 *RIGHT NOW* are those LEAST ABLE to write grants! Many of these are working *unfunded* - putting their other work on hold, working without resources - to provide COVID19 research *NOW* 3/n

      Many of these scientists *cannot write a grant*. Many of us are working all day, every day (inc weekends). Grants usually take days - weeks - to prepare. That kind of time is absolutely laughable for #COVID19 researchers at the moment. The lucky among us find a few hours. 4/n

      Those who don't have time to write at all *get NOTHING* & the work they do now is paid only in their sweat, tears & lost opportunities. Those who scrape together a few hours compete against others who are not doing COVID now, operating more normally & could spend days on it 5/n

      These researchers at such a disadvantage are the ones who dropped everything to switch to this. They are glad to help. They work willingly. They are called by duty. They are making your models, testing your patients, analysing your data, informing your govts - RIGHT NOW. 6/n

      And the best outcome for them is a small chance of some money in a crowded field - in a few months. For others, who couldn't scrape together time to write a grant - nothing. Regardless, we do & will keep going, setting aside all other opportunities & work. 7/n

      Life isn't fair. But I, at least, cannot help but look at this & think *there must be a better way*. More funding calls requiring different & long-form applications that take months to process *are not the answer*. Yet each agency in turn strolls out to lay them down. 8/n

      Scientists despair with each because *there is no time* & yet what choice do we have but to /try/ - because otherwise we struggle on unfunded. So stay up late, work harder, tell them the research has to wait... in a pandemic. Is that what we want to encourage right now? 9/n

      *We need a better way forward for #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 funding.* One way might be to reward work *already done* - fast-track SHORT applications based on the incredible research done in the past 3 months to *continue this work*. 10/n

      I had a very privileged friend repeatedly question me about a community face shield producer before deciding that the cause wasn’t “worthy enough”. The person has a net worth in the millions. Sponsoring a shield was $3. She made enough for 100 shields during her questioning.

      This is disappointing :( I am hopeful that other investors will see this differently, and embrace the chance to make a difference!

      I am organizing a lot of them out of California and elsewhere in the tech community, we are a couple months ahead! @BillAckman and friends may also do stuff.

          This is so great to hear! I don't have anyone on my list (yet) who is working on antivirals, but if you know some investors interested in funding other COVID work (in particular genetics/sequencing/phylo) please do get in touch! :)

          if you can handle the responsibility part of my job is to send stuff up to @jeffbezos and @billgates they have serious $ (obv!) they want to deploy. if you can make, as Jeff prefers, a 6 page narrative compiled on a number of good / critical efforts I can get in in front of him
