Here's that post from last year's forum:

I thought I would pass this info along. I was curious about why I only had the summary review form, whereas everyone else I know got the three review scores, so I asked the contact in my letter what that meant.
In summary, he said that after the proposals go through three reviews, a panel meets to discuss the applications. Those with high scores from all three reviewers get discussed by the entire panel, and if that occurs, you get a summary of the reviews from all panel members. After the panel review, those with a final score of excellent are forwarded to internal review. Apparently about 214 out of 1479 were forwarded to internal review, and they have funding for about 150 awards this year.
