The NNE-CTR has just completed an intensive review of the Round 10 Pilot Project Applicant Proposals. We received a stellar group of applications which scored higher than ever before! It was a difficult decision, but we have now selected the recipients to move on in the funding process, and they are now in the JIT portion of the cycle. Applicants who were not selected this round will be receiving notification shortly, along with copies of their Reviewer Score Cards, which depict helpful comments about perceived strengths and weaknesses of their proposal. 

As Round 10 pilots coincide with Year 10 of the NNE-CTR, we will not be able to issue a Call for Proposals for the next round until the grant is renewed for another 5 years. However, if you have a project you'd like to discuss with the Pilot Project Core co-leads, or with the Administrative Core, please do reach out. We may be able to assist you in finding alternative sources of funding. We look forward to working with you!
