For this pilot project, instead of a traditional review panel, all principal investigators submitting proposals to the Sensors and Sensing Systems (SSS) will be required to review seven competing proposals! The program officer will then compile the final rankings and select the winners. Applicants who fail to complete the required reviews will have their proposals withdrawn from consideration and will not receive any reviews that may have already been completed for their own proposal.
