Thanks. That is my understanding, too. I can't see how the second round success rate would be too different from one year to the next. Do you happen to know, though, if the criteria change in any way? I believe the first round is reviewers only from your field, whereas the second is an interdisciplinary panel. And I guess that letters of recommendation are perhaps more important in the second round (where all proposals are supposed to be generally strong already) than in the first, as a way of filtering good from excellent candidates. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Received transcript request 1/26. Some colleagues already received rejection letters. If you have not heard back yet, it likely means you did not make it to the second round. Transcript requests mean you made it to second round. Who here knows how many people make it to the second round, and how many of those are awarded the grant?
