Would you be able to share around what % of the 85 non-desk-rejected applications that you got were applications that were within your request for proposals?
I’d like to get a sense of what the current base rate of acceptance is in applying for a grant for a project that’s within your preferred proposal areas.
Of the 85 non-desk-reject proposals we reviewed, 38% fell outside of our request for proposals and 62% in some way pertained to our RFP. (I took a liberal approach to calculating this number—for example, if we received a proposal about advancing alternative proteins in any way, I counted it as pertaining to our RFP.) It’s probably worth noting that 17 out of the 18 proposals we ended up funding in the latest round fell *within* our RFP.

Got it, thanks!
