It is important to note that COR doesn't penalize the applicant for having significant funding in unrelated projects. In fact, past success is generally regarded as a strength. Applications that are triaged will be returned to applicants with short comments. Merit Review Applications meeting the basic criteria will be reviewed for overall merit by faculty with expertise in the general area of the project. COR Review Final funding is determined by the Committee on Research, based on the scores and recommendations of the subcommittees.
Funding is based on the availability of funds.
In general, applications receiving scores between 1 and 2 will be recommended for funding. For all applications that undergo a full review, funded or not funded, the applicants will be able to receive reviewers' comments upon request.
