All preproposals will be reviewed for scientific merit and adherence to the terms of this Notice by an independent panel.  Recommendations of that panel will then be reviewed by NICCR, which will make final decisions about the preproposals.  Those decisions will be communicated to the applicants via e-mail as soon after the submission deadline as possible.  Proposals will be accepted only from applicants who are notified by NICCR that their preproposal is acceptable .
