  8. Question: Are there any restriction on being involved in multiple proposal submissions? For example, may someone be a team member in one proposal and as a PI in another proposal?

    Answer: The same organizations and individuals may appear multiple proposal submissions.
     
  9. Question: According to the ROA, the proposal must be in one “text-recognizable” PDF file. Does this mean you discourage use of graphics, such as JPGs, in the proposal?

    Answer: The use of figures is at the applicant's discretion.  Digital images may be included, and count toward the page limit of the section in which they appear.  Figures must be readable as printed on an 8.5” x 11” page at normal (100%) scale.  Applications where most material is in image format will be assessed for compliance with the restriction on font size and may be deemed non-compliant if it is determined that images were likely used to bypass this restriction.
     
  10. Question: Is the table of contents part of any page length restrictions?

    Answer: The table of contents for the overall application does not have a page limit if it immediately follows the Cover Page.  If an individual section has a separate table of contents, it will count toward the page limit for that section.
