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.
- Applicants who receive the highest scores in the initial review of the one page Specific Aims summary will be invited to submit a detailed proposal.
- The Scientific Review Committee will review and score the detailed proposals. The most competitive applications will be discussed 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 the final discussion are deemed highly competitive and will receive feedback outlining their research proposal strengths and areas for development.
