Reviewers will base the final score of an application on all five review criteria (significance, approach, innovation, investigators, and environment). The same consideration and evaluation is expected for applications with multiple PD/PIs as with single PD/PIs. The quality of the Leadership Plan will be considered by the reviewers as part of the assessment of the overall approach and incorporated into the scientific and technical merit determination. A missing or inadequate Leadership Plan will detract from the overall score.
