Thanks, gd4! Interesting stuff! My quick notab
Post# of 36537
My quick notable points:
1) Proposal, including budget has to be 10 pages or less! Wasn't the BARDA app a couple of reams long? Maybe that's one reason for the delay. They probably had to work to meet that criteria yet still include all the pertinent info... or print with microscopic font!
2) CEPI is definitely less bureaucratic than BARDA and probably has the latitude and the drive to make fast decisions based on science (hopefully a plus for GNBT).
3) June 3rd submission would imply a decision by June 22/23 at the latest, based on their guidance:
"This is a rolling call that is now open to at least June 30th, 2020. CEPI will review all applications submitted in batches in 2-week cycles starting 11th May. Responses to applicants will be issued two to three working days following a 2-week review period. For example, an application received on May 8th would enter a review cycle starting May 11th and ending May 22nd. A response would then be issued May 25-27th. CEPI will make every effort to accelerate these review timelines as we recognize that every day counts."
