The target date for the SI-CCSA program is November 15. How rigid is this date?
A. A target date is not a deadline. It is, in our experience, a date for proposal submission that would allow us to process and review the proposal adequately so that a decision could be reached at the Spring meeting of our Advisory Committee. While a delay of one or two days is rarely a problem, a delay of more than a week could cause the proposal to receive insufficient review and require it to be deferred to a subsequent meeting of the Advisory Committee.
