One thing that occurred to me on this topic as I was looking at the
scoring of the two very good proposals we got this year for Derby is
that one thing that changed is that I think we probably filtered out
quite a few less serious applicants at the community level by making it
clear what the expectations are. In prior years I think we got at least
a few proposals from people that had not yet contributed or ramped up on
the project and some I can recall that were not much more than just a
cut and paste of the abstract. I think it is fine that noise is gone.
It was not a good use of the student's time to submit them or the
mentor's time to sift through them.
