Applications that receive initial scores of 4 and 5 or higher (using NIH 1-9 scoring system) from both reviewers (A and B) can be "triaged" (not discussed) if the committee agrees.</p> <p>At the end of each competition cycle, Principal Investigators (PI1) receive written reviews and final scores. Triaged proposals (not discussed) only receive the review comments.  </p> <h5><strong>RAP SCORING SYSTEM</strong></h5> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Impact</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Score</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Descriptor</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Additional Guidance on Strengths/Weaknesses</strong></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>1</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Exceptional</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Exceptionally strong with essentially no weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>High</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>2</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Outstanding</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Extremely strong with negligible weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>3</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Excellent</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very strong with only some minor weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>4</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very Good</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Strong but with numerous minor weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Medium</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>5</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Good</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Strong but with at least one moderate weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>6</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Satisfactory</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Some strengths but also some moderate weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>7</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Fair</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Some strengths but with at least one major weakness</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>Low</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>8</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Marginal</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">A few strengths and a few major weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <p><strong> </strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default"><strong>9</strong></p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Poor</p> </td> <td> <p align="center" class="Default">Very few strengths and numerous major weaknesses</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"> <p class="Default"><strong>Minor Weakness:</strong> An easily addressable weakness that does not substantially lessen impact</p> <p class="Default"><strong>Moderate Weakness:</strong> A weakness that lessens impact</p> <p class="Default"><strong>Major Weakness:</strong> A weakness that severely limits impact</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Applicants select the review committee they deem most appropriate;

The Shared Equipment proposals usually request funding for larger pieces of equipment that can be used in multiple research projects by multiple PI’s. Although encouraged to place such equipment in core facilities, this is not an absolute requirement. Technology development proposals are directed towards development of equipment or applications that are technology based.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar_top"> <div class="region region-sidebar-top"> <div id="block-menu-block-2" class="block block-menu-block"> <h3><a href="/about" class="active-trail">About</a></h3> <div class="content"> <div class="menu-block-wrapper menu-block-2 menu-name-main-menu parent-mlid-0 menu-level-2"> <ul class="menu"><li class="first leaf menu-mlid-3646"><a href="/leadership_view" title="">Leadership</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2661"><a href="/people_bio" title="">People</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2046"><a href="/funding-agencies">Funding Agencies</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-3651"><a href="/disseminationsubmission-process">Dissemination/Submission Process</a></li> <li class="leaf active-trail active menu-mlid-2051"><a href="/review-process" class="active-trail active">Review Process</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-3656"><a href="/award-process">Award Process</a></li> <li class="leaf menu-mlid-2056"><a href="/why-rap-rap-manuscript">Why RAP</a></li> <li class="last leaf menu-mlid-2546"><a href="/contact-us">Contact</a></li> </ul></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-6" class="block block-block callout-box"> <h3>Quicklinks</h3> <div class="content"> <div align="center"> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rap.ucsf.edu/eligibility-compare-grants" target="_blank">ELIGIBILITY &amp; COMPARE GRANTS </a></p> <p style="text-align: left;"> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rapapp.ucsf.edu/">Resource Allocation Portal</a> </p> <p style="text-align: left;"><a class="btn--small btn--blue" href="https://rdo.ucsf.edu/">Research Development Office Website</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-16" class="block block-block"> <h3>Grant Deadlines</h3> <div class="content"> <p><u><strong>SPRING 2024 CYCLE</strong></u></p> <p><strong>Funding Results: </strong>now available via your portal acct.</p> <p><br /> <u><strong>FALL 2024 CYCLE</strong></u></p> <p><strong>Call Opens: </strong>Thurs., <strong>August 29, 2024</strong></p> <p><br /> <strong>Deadline:</strong> Mon. <strong>September 30, 2024</strong><br /> (2:00 pm PST)<br /> <br /> <strong>Funding Results: </strong>available before end of December, 2024</p> <p><br /> <br /> <strong><u>TWO CYCLES PER YEAR</u></strong><br /> <br /> SPRING Deadline: February/March <br /> <br /> FALL Deadline: September/October </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-11" class="block block-block footer-contact-us"> <div class="content"> <p><strong>Resource Allocation Program</strong></p> <p> </p> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols layout--40-60"> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--first bg--transparent"> <p>600 16th Street, Suite 116, San Francisco, CA 94143<br /> <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#7200130232071101145c171607"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="c2b0a3b282b7a1b1a4eca7a6b7">[email&#160;protected]</span></a></p> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_twocols--second bg--transparent"> <p><b>Phone:</b> 415-502-1674<br /> <b>Fax:</b> 415-502-1675</p> </div> </div> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="rap.ucsf.edu/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>&copy; 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
