a multiproject program beyond the gains achievable if each project were
pursued independently?
- How well does the overall program incorporate innovative concepts and approaches?
- Is the program cohesive? Do research projects and cores fit into a common theme?
- Does the PI have sufficient time, effort, leadership ability, and scientific talent to develop a program of integrated research projects with a
well-defined central research focus?
- Are the key personnel qualified, trained, and committed? Do they add to the merit of the project? Can they devote adequate time and effort to the project?
- Does the institution provide sufficient laboratory space, equipment, and other resources to support the project?
- For renewal applications, do the program's accomplishments justify new funding?
