Purpose

This notice is to inform the potential applicants that the in-person interview step in the application review process will be eliminated.

RFA-RM-18-010, Section V.1 currently reads, in part:

Informed by the comments provided by Mail Reviewers, a subset of applications will be selected by the Review Panel (excluding Mail Reviewers) for further consideration. The PDs/PIs of these applications will be invited for an in-person interview by the Review Panel. The same review criteria will be used by the Review Panel as was used by the Mail Reviewers.

This section is now modified to read:

Informed by the comments provided by Mail Reviewers, a subset of applications will be selected by the Review Panel (excluding Mail Reviewers) for further consideration. The same review criteria will be used by the Review Panel as was used by the Mail Reviewers.

All other aspects of this FOA remain unchanged.
