Why? I could and I could point out all those grants they did get over the years as well. But what difference do their past successes or failures in obtaining grants matter today. You win some you lose some.
You should also point out all the other grants they were going to get and never got..
The only thing that matters at this point in time is that Mantra are in the running for this particular grant today.
And not just any grant either, a grant that is specific to bring their technology from lab to market.
