Well, apparently it's acceptable for senior male colleagues to create your CV, fake a personal statement (getting your research field and degree dates wrong), and then submit to a funding agency.
Without ever discussing it with you.
Yep, this is real.
I only found out when the funders asked if I would be resubmitting my application that wasn't funded in February.
I had to ask them to send it to me to work out who it was behind it!
Update: it has been reported institutionally, and the funder is also aware it was a disingenuous application. We'll see what happens...
And thank you to everyone who has reached out and offered support over this, it is very much appreciated!
