How are pre-proposals reviewed and evaluated?

For programs (not including LEAPS and Rapid Response Innovation Awards) scientists on staff as well as outside advisors assess the pre-proposals for scientific merit and fit for the program and MJFF goals. A minimum of two and up to three independent scientific reviews are done on each pre-proposal, with each reviewer voting “Invite” or “Do not invite” (except for LEAPS). Majority rules in reaching a decision on each pre-proposal. No feedback is given at the pre-proposal triage stage.
