better people to participate in the boards because they have a golden ticket now and they're more likely to wanna wanna participate.

So we want to run that experiment and see what kind of what kind of uh um applications actually get approved and what kind of science gets done.

Yeah, exactly.

That that's exactly right.

And I think another another example of this is mo typically most NSF grants are roughly 18 months.

And that's just become kind of a a a natural equilibrium that NSF has come to just given where the academic calendars are.

But

You know, all research ideas don't require 18 months.

Some of them require three months or six months, some of them require five years.

And I think another thing we're gonna be testing, and we proposed in in New Golden Age, was this idea of different durations of grants and allowing there to be opportunities for people to try fast track grants, where they have an idea that can be done in six months, and if it works, then they can apply for a longer grant.

Or you may have longer dated ideas that you would need three.

four even five years to work on that we would be evaluating.

So at at its core, at almost every turn what Golden Age tries to do is meet scientists where they are.

There's some ideas that require eighteen months, there are other ones that require six months.

And we want to make sure that there are opportunities for them to at least propose their ideas for evaluation.

So I think but one sort of manifestation of that is is the way that um we think about some of these early career uh fellowships.

So GRFPs are kind of the the flagship fellowship you have at the National Science Foundation, which um you know we give um roughly 2,600 of these to the smartest and best sort of aspiring PhDs in in the country.

And the idea there is, you know, we will give you this money to go pursue your PhD, but it's

It's totally portable.

So you can take it anywhere you want.
