Rejection from CCUMC
I submitted a proposal to the CCUMC for developing tools to record text movies. They only funded one project, and it was not mine. Their rejection was very Goldilocksian. Not too damaging. Not too placating.
Dear Chris Johnson,
On behalf of CCUMC and the CCUMC Research Committee, I want to thank you for all the work that you put in to your 2012 Donald A. Rieck Research Grant proposal submission. Unfortunately, we are unable to fund your proposal this year. CCUMC received an excellent response and unfortunately we only had funding available for one project. We hope you will be successful in finding funding for your project, and of course you are invited to submit a proposal again in 2013. Watch http://ccumc.org and http://facebook.com/ccumc for updates throughout the year.
