As a European observer of this list, I do very much appreciate the ongoing
discussions but do have a serious problem with terminology.

As I am not so familiar with US funding possibilities (programs, form
abbreviations etc.) I would ask you out there NOT to use abbreviations in
order to make international communication more effective.

By doing this, I hope to be able to contribute more actively to ongoing
discussions.
