It is kind of a logistical headache to handle withdrawn application after we figured out a funding allocation, though it’s not that bad.
If you do have a lot of uncertainty on whether you will actually want to go ahead with the project (or think it’s somewhat conditional on funder enthusiasm), I think it’s best to choose the “get a response within 2 weeks” option. That’s I think also the best option if you are applying for multiple projects (in which case I would recommend filling out one application that gets processed in the 60-day window, and then some secondary applications that you might pivot to if you get funding within the 2 week window).
If some of the project ideas are smaller, is it easier for you to handle if they’re added on to just one larger application as extras that might be worth additional funding?
