Foundation, Basis, Basement, whatever...:

It was bound to happen.

Since the National Science Foundation has been required to participate in the Grants.gov portal, our programs have been exposed to a whole new customer base. Usually, only the scientific research community pays any attention to our program announcements, funding opportunities, etc., but through Grants.gov you can search on all sorts of words to find opportinities for government funding.

We recently got an application requesting funding of a foundation for a building in Vermont. As in poured concrete.

...as long as it's scientifically poured, and then peer-reviewed, and finally published in the literature...

Hmm, methinks now, "al-Qaeda" stand for "foundation," so...
