* Proposals received in response to all four solicitations were held for consideration of funding in FY 2008.   However, the FY 2008 appropriations for BES (H.R. 2764, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2008, signed into law by the President on December 26, 2007) included no funding for these solicitations.  All of the proposals not already funded in FY 2007 are now declined due to lack of funding.  Principal investigators will receive written notification of the declination and anonymous reviews of their proposals.
