The pause of response mode funding will have a huge impact on ECRs who are not yet fellowship ready.When researchers leave academia they rarely return. Clarity on when RM will reopen is urgently needed & transitions to the new model need to avoid investment gaps that disproportionally affect ECRs

Benjamin is right. Reading this is like suddenly wearing glasses, or being plugged into Capra’s brain.
