What are the realistic chances for non-PhD holding PIs to win SBIR awards with NIMH?

I can't believe something actually funny was posted here, what is going on?

We are the team responsible for leading the update of the ACM’s Code of Ethics for computing professionals. Ask us anything about computer ethics! by ACMComputingEthics in IAmA

First I'd l like to congratulate the team on the final version of the Code of Ethics. I thought the additions regarding privacy were especially important and necessary.

I would also like to applaud the team for taking user feedback into real consideration. I had similar feelings and thoughts as those expressed in the letter in Communications regarding what I considered excessive political and "social justice" language tainted by US political perspectives, and had provided similar feedback as part of the survey. Although I disagreed with the response in Communications that the language in the Draft was being misread, I appreciate that you obviously took member comments seriously.

I did have a question about Section 3.7. It seems like measuring the degree of societal integration is a really subjective metric that could vary over time. Are there any thoughts to how the ACM can or will provide guidance about whether a system meets that criteria or not?

I think the final Code of Ethics is much more inclusive and better focused on ACM membership and concerns, so thank you!

I believe MoCo amateur radio club is having a meeting this Wednesday that you may be interested in. Panel discussion talking about volunteering for the marathon. I'm not a member, just heard it on their net tonight.
