The principal investigators (PIs) of the Cycle 1 proposals were notified today of the results of the Phase 1 review. The PIs were either invited to submit a Phase 2 budget or were informed that their proposals were rejected. The program was over-subscribed by a factor of ~4, and therefore unfortunately many very good proposals cannot be accepted.
