Didn't get an award, which is ok, but it took so much energy to apply. Disabled scholars get significantly less grants, and I bet it is largely due to the fact that we are physically unable to apply to as many as our nondisabled colleagues #AcademicChatter

Comparing number of awards recieved vs those one applies for may be an interesting metric for #DisabledinSTEM as I know I apply for far fewer than most people. @AcademicChatter @AbleismAcademia

I have a stack of grants I'm interested in applying for, but I can pretty much exclusively write 2-3 small (under $4000) ones a year. Anything on the larger side would probably be 1 or 2 a year without the small ones...

If "you miss all the shots you don't take" how do we account for the inequities of the number of shots one can physically take? #NEISVoid #AcademicTwitter #DisabilityTwitter

I know I said I'm okay with not getting it. I'm just bummed because I don't know when I'll get the energy again to apply for another... #NEISVoid #PhDChat

We know how much work it is to apply for a grant, because nondisabled faculty are always exhausted and complaining about it...so where does that leave us? #DisabledInSTEM
