<p><em><strong>Process</strong></em><br>
JSA is soliciting proposals for Initiatives Fund support for the
FY2018 program. An Initiatives Fund Evaluation Committee will
review eligible proposals that meet the criteria. The Committee
will include Programs Committee members, Lab representation, Users
Group representation, and external consultants as needed to ensure
a fair and objective process. In addition to evaluating new
proposals, the Committee will reassess the value of the programs
requesting renewed support to ensure their on-going relevance and
continuation. The Committee will make its recommendations for
award to the JSA owners, SURA and PAE Applied Technologies, which
provide the funds for the Initiatives Fund Program. The owners
have final approval of all awards from the Initiatives Fund.
Proposers will be notified of the status of proposals following
the owners' final decision.</p>
