The Technical
Review is the second step in TAP's three-part
admission process. Technical
Plans are distributed to three-to-five relevant technical
experts, mostly from academia and/or government labs. Such
persons review, comment on, and score technical plans.
When TAP distributes Technical Plans to such reviewers,
TAP also sends a copy of the applicant's executive summary.
In some instances, reviewers forward questions about the
applicant's Technical Plan to TAP, which questions are
then directed to the applicant. Generally, the Technical
Review process lasts two-to-three weeks, unless a substantial
number of questions are raised by reviewers. |
