We have four application cycles per year. The LOI form deadlines do not change (if the date falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline for the LOI is the next business day). Deadlines for the Application form vary, but are set about 4 weeks after the LOI. Funding decisions are made at the end of the quarter and applicants are notified immediately.
We will provide the specific deadlines, decision dates, and more information in our instructions to invited applicants.
