Applications will be judged according to the following criteria: 1) potential impact and significance of proposed project, 2) scientific merit, (if applicable), and 3) potential for the applicant to obtain future funding based on project results. Overall impact will be a key consideration, but can arise from any of several different avenues, including for example likelihood to generate key novel data, make a substantial difference in the field or local sleep community, or substantively advance an applicant’s early-stage career in pediatric sleep research.
