idk, could be possible that they are working through the applications and have not made decisions on all yet. To some extent I imagine that when they are viewed adnd ecided on depends on the subject matter of your prop.
The original email said that the subject matter review would be in February with DoD review in March, so it's totally possible they aren't through all the applications yet since it's only mid february.
Either that or they have definitely decided ours are out of the running. Who knows! Either way I think it's worth holding out some hope until March at least.
