Our director talked to someone at the help desk and was told they received over 30,000 applications so far for the NIH Challenge ARRA grants.

Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] The numbers are in

I think the numbers are not yet in and that the blurb from Science Insider is perhaps posted too early. My institution is waiting for the validation of roughly 30% of our submissions and we are not alone. Nothing uploaded into Commons from Monday, and I think it will be a not insignificant number of applications.

Just my 2 cents worth.
