Scoring Process
Scoring Guidelines
- All applications will be initially reviewed by two Scientific Review Committee members based on a one-page specific aims summary using the provided template, a personal statement, research abstract, budget summary, and applicant biosketch.
- The highest scoring applicants from the initial round of review for the one page specific aims summary will then be invited to submit a detailed proposal.
- The Scientific Review Committee will then review and score the detailed proposals, and discuss the most competitive applications individually at length during a review meeting where awardees and runners up are then selected by consensus.
- All the applications that make it through to this stage are deemed highly competitive and will receive feedback outlining their research proposal strengths and areas for development.
