THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PROJECT GRANT PROGRAM EXCEPT IT IS UNDERFUNDED. Breaking it, redesigning it, etc, cannot fix this.

early-career academics, if you don't have a website, make yourself one. yes it's annoying but just do it it can be plain text on a white background, or google sites, or even a free Wix one with ads. nobody cares we just need to be able to look you up, quickly, bc there's like 100 other apps here

"this candidate seems maybe promising but I need X standard thing that isn't here, I'll go get it, oh there's no website I guess we'll never know". that's how fast you can end up in the "no" pile for a completely stupid reason that you yourself can fix for free right now
