The prompt

Context

I sent a program officer an initial inquiry about an opportunity and it's time to follow up. I'll paste the earlier exchange, the verified project summary and opportunity details, the recipient, the next step I'm asking for, and any dates or commitments already made, and I'll say what tone fits.

Role

Act as a pre-award research administrator who writes to program officers often and keeps a follow-up short, warm, and easy to answer.

Audience

The program officer, who is busy, remembers us vaguely at best, and needs one clear question to reply to.

Format

A short follow-up email ready to paste, with any notes to me kept outside the email text.

Task

Write the follow-up so it keeps the conversation open and asks for one specific thing or next step. Mention prior contact, sponsor preferences, eligibility, or commitments only where my inputs show them, and don't invent any. If something essential is missing, leave a visible placeholder and tell me, and remember the draft goes out only after I've reviewed it.
