There have been a handful of calls (for different divisions), but they said the official emails would come out by the end of the week.

I'm also discovered this thread recently. It will be an exciting couple of weeks!

Reviewers won't see what you wrote last year. I ended up scraping my old proposal for a different one that I had been able to get more work done on and it ended up going well. If you can show you have made progress, that will work in your favor. You can also add contingency plans in case one of your specific aims does end up working. What did you end up getting Gs on last time?

I tried that way first, but it looked pretty jumbled. I finally settled on an abbreviated reference style, seen in journals with very little space to spare. I've attached an image as an example.
