A quite from the ACS web page giving instructions for first time grant application writers....
"When preparing your grant application, review the membership of the Study Section you believe will be assigned to review your grant. You will undoubtedly recognize some of the names on the roster, and these are the individuals who will likely review your application. It is a wise tactic to quote their work at some time in your application. It is best that you do not dispute their findings; if you do, you should do so in a respectful and tactful manner. The Study Section rosters are listed on the NIH's web site (http://www.nih.gov)."
Oh joy.... nothing like preparing future scientists for the rigors of academic politics... don't worry about science at this point kiddies... just make sure you don't disagree with the wrong people.
