X02 pre-applications will be evaluated by a group of external reviewers. Those investigators whose projects are judged to be the most outstanding will be notified of the opportunity to submit full (DP1) applications under RFA-RM-09-001. All awards will be made under RFA-RM-009-001. No awards will be made under this announcement.
