No no no no no.
You're doing it all wrong.
Here. Let me help.
"I propose an important study on the psychological effects of violent rhetoric and behavior directed against a significant subset of the population of government-associated scientific research personnel, based on an experimental protocol. This important study will help us better understand the psychology of such violence, including its lasting effects, and will point the way toward a more satisfactory resolution of conflicts generated as a result of research activities by the experimental population, and by the responses from those adverse to the relevant activities."
"Study length is projected at 2 years, with a required budget of $3.2 million."
Now. Farm that out to as many government grant-makers as possible.
When you get funded, let me know. I want to be a research assistant.
Hahahahahahahahahahaha....
I think I know what Jeff Winston does for a living...:)
(SOMEONE has to write all those grant applications, though, right?)
Perfect, and you’ve got a deal :)
