UPDATE Monday, May 22, 2017, 2 36 p.m.: Preliminary results show the proposal failed, however, the initiative did get support from 4percentt of all shareholders according to Jim McRitchie, meaning that it can be resubmitted for next year's meeting.
To verify the initial results, 51 samples were retested, either from previously isolated DNA or from additional resubmitted samples, thus bringing our total sample size of genotyped individuals to 250.
Changes to eligibility rules for resubmitting proposals from previous funding rounds could reduce the total number of applications and improve success rates.
We have therefore removed this description from the resubmitted version of the paper.
We thank the reviewer/editors for this opportunity to address the remaining concerns from our resubmitted manuscript.
To test the hypothesis that participation in the SRGP would have a positive effect on grant-writing skills, we evaluated the change in grant scores for the subset of applicants who resubmitted grants (n = 6 from 2011, n = 6 from 2012).
From the 12 resubmitted articles only three were correctly identified as previous submissions, eight articles were rejected and the remaining paper re-accepted.
We also excluded from the study any outline proposals which the funding board asked to be resubmitted, and any applications received from countries not eligible for funding.
He said: "In the circumstances, I have not approved parole at this stage but have directed that a further profile be resubmitted not later than 12 months from today instead of the two-year period prescribed by law".
After nine months of inaction, Ms. Jory and her partners withdrew the application from the Board of Education and resubmitted it to the Regents, the governing body for public schools statewide.
