All bits put together, all the corrections made. The latest proposal, the one to NSF, is out of my hands. the University should be submitting it to NSF shortly. It wasn't the most challenging one I've written or co-written, but it did take some effort to put it into a coherent whole. It was an intellectually stimulating exercise though, so it was definitely worth doing. Let's hope some funding comes out of it. Taking a molecular genetics approach to study pathogen (virulence gene) evolution and subsequent selection for increased pathogenic potential is a new way to look at ecology of infectious disease. In addition, the proposal describes how we'll try to determine if local/global environmental changes (higher marine water temperature, etc), is influencing this selection for more virulent bacteria in the environment.
Felt good to do it.
