You may have noticed it has been a little quiet around the blog for the last week or so.  DEB has been busy processing the spring preliminary proposals along with proposals from several other competitions.

Full proposal invitations have already started to go out. We are working to complete all of the invitation notices first (goal of May 15th) in order to provide as much time as possible for writing full proposals. Notifications of decisions to not invite for full proposal will follow shortly afterward.
