Gate
1: The proposer submits detailed information to address the scientific
and technological merit selection criterion. Additionally, the proposer
submits preliminary information to address the selection criterion on
the potential for broad-based economic benefits. If the information
submitted is determined to have high merit, ATP notifies the proposer
and requests that the required additional information be submitted for
consideration in Gate 2.
Gate
2: The proposer submits more detailed information to address the
potential for broad-based economic benefits selection criterion and
detailed budget data. If the information submitted is determined to
have high merit, ATP notifies the proposer of its selection as a semi-finalist
and the proposal proceeds to Gate 3.
Gate
3: The proposer is requested to submit required forms and additional
documentation, as necessary, and may be invited to NIST for an oral
review. If ATP determines, based on all the information received, that
the proposal has sufficiently high merit to be funded, the proposal
is considered a finalist and proceeds to Gate 4.
Gate
4: Final award processing and issuance, if selected.
