I’m sure I’ll feel silly when someone finds them, but are the concepts of “narrow win” and “near miss” defines in the context of this paper? Is “career setback” defined?

In the abstract “Here we examine junior scientists applying for National Institutes of Health R01 grants. By focusing on proposals fell just below and just above the funding threshold, we compare near-miss with narrow-win applicants”
In other words, scientists who just barely missed funding “near miss” versus scientists who just barely were over the threshold to receive it “narrow win”.
