Will the total scoring be affected by an applicants choice of optional activities?
The scoring will not be affected by an applicants choice of optional activities. For example, applicants who want to fund 100% of their activities in health-care settings will have the same maximum score as those that want to divide their activities between health-care settings (required) and non-health-care settings (optional). The scores will be affected only if the applicant fails to provide any documents required in the different subsections of the application.
