*Please read the eligibility criteria for the ABB and the DP awards carefully, as they are slightly different. Applicants with a proposal that is eligible for both the ABB and the DP mechanisms have the opportunity to submit a single application, which will be first considered for the ABB award and if not selected for the ABB award, automatically receive consideration for funding by the ADRC DP program. The administrative team will work with applicants to revise scope and budget, as needed, to transition an ABB proposal to a DP proposal. Applicants may submit different project proposals for each mechanism, provided there is no scientific overlap in the proposed projects.
