If an application has an outstanding Research Plan and/or outstanding multiple PIs, but the Leadership Plan is weak or missing, how might the score be affected?
Reviewers will base the final score of an application on all five review criteria (significance, approach, innovation, investigators, and environment). The same consideration and evaluation is expected for applications with multiple PIs as with single PIs. The quality of the Leadership Plan will be considered by the reviewers as part of the assessment of the overall approach, and incorporated into the scientific and technical merit determination. A missing or inadequate Leadership Plan will detract from the overall score.
