Qualified applicants will be invited to apply after approval by the Council or a Council-appointed review committee. The review process will focus on the institution as a whole and involve a body of work over time. More than one reviewer will visit each applicant. Funding allocations will be based primarily on rankings. However, MAC staff will work with the panel to take into consideration historical funding levels for FY2001-2002 review.
All awards are subject to legislative appropriations.
In addition, the Council will periodically review budget thresholds.
