Our review panels have completed their evaluation of the 136 Academic Plan Pre-proposals and invitations have been extended to the PIs of about 26% of those pre-proposals submitted. Many excellent pre-proposals were not selected for various reasons. We hope that the new collaborations forged as a result of this competition will enable several new initiatives and extramural proposals to be pursued with other funding agencies and/or within schools, colleges, and departments. To help with this process, we are sending the comments from our review panels to all who submitted pre-proposals. We applaud the creativity and spirit of collaboration demonstrated by the submissions.
Those pre-proposals that have been selected to be developed into full proposals can be found here. Full proposals are due on March 1st, 2015. Guidelines for preparing full proposals can be found here.
We congratulate those selected, and thank all investigators for their thoughtful submissions. We are especially grateful to those who participated on the four review panels.
