Priority Score and Percentile
- If your application received a percentile ranking between 0.1 and 30.9
: At this time, you should come to no conclusions concerning the probability of funding, since the rank accorded your application is only one of the factors that is considered in making funding decisions. We will notify you specifically no later than 30 days after the National Advisory General Medical Sciences Council (NAGMS) meeting of May 17-18, 2007, if the Council makes a recommendation that differs from or alters that of the initial review group. Your application will remain active until the automatic withdrawal date of March 31, 2008.
If your application received a percentile ranking between 31.0 and 65.9: Staff has determined that your application may not be competitive for funding. We will notify you specifically no later than 30 days after the NAGMS Council meeting of May 17-18, 2007, if the Council makes a recommendation that differs from or alters that of the initial review group. In the absence of such a Council recommendation, your application will be administratively withdrawn immediately following the Council meeting.
If your application received a percentile ranking greater than 65.9: Staff has determined that your application will not be competitive for funding and therefore will administratively withdraw it. Applications in this category usually are not reviewed by the Council.
Priority Score and No Percentile
- If your application received a priority score between 100 and 300
: At this time, you should come to no conclusions concerning the probability of funding, since the priority score accorded your application is only one of the factors that is considered in making funding decisions. We will notify you specifically no later than 30 days after the NAGMS Council meeting of May 17-18, 2007, if the Council makes a recommendation that differs from or alters that of the initial review group. Your application will remain active until the automatic withdrawal date of March 31, 2008.
If your application received a priority score greater than 300: Staff has determined that your application will not be competitive for funding and therefore will administratively withdraw it. Applications in this category usually are not reviewed by the Council.
Unscored
- If your application did not receive a score
: Your application is unscored because the initial review group believed that its scientific merit placed it approximately in the bottom half of the applications that they reviewed. Staff has determined that your application will not be competitive for funding and therefore will administratively withdraw it. Applications in this category usually are not reviewed by the Council.
If your application was not recommended for further consideration (NRFC), it will be administratively withdrawn by staff. Applications in this category usually are not reviewed by the Council.
* NOTE TO R13 APPLICANTS: R13 applications do not receive Council review. However, you will be notified of NIGMS staff actions after the NAGMS Council meeting.
