Explanation of Scoring Categories for Relevancy and Technical Reviews

All proposals are scored on criteria stipulated in the current solicitation. NEUP conducts two separate reviews on each proposal: a relevancy review and a technical review. NEUP's scoring categories for the two reviews are listed below.
