Send TGIF Letters to Francis Collins

Since the NIH missed its December deadline for releasing the Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) for ME and has set a new deadline for the end of January, I am going to email Dr Collins every Friday to remind him of the urgency of this matter.
It would be wonderful if he received LOTS of these Friday letters.
Some ideas: Aloha Friday –TGIF but not for ME — What are you doing this weekend? I will be home in bed.
Whatever people decide to say, he needs to hear from LOTS of us until the FOAs are released. We must hold his feet to the fire.
Send your emails to:
execsec1@0d.nih.gov, francis.collins@nih.gov
Thanks,
Jane Pannell
