We have received 14 proposals. During the scope review, program co-directors chose to put two loosely related proposals into a single slot. Then all eligible proposals are assigned a number from 2 to 14, we then use random.org to generate a random sequence, out of which the first 10 projects are awarded. The generation of the random sequence was conducted during a project co-directors Zoom meeting on Jan 8, 2022. At the meeting, co-director Xie continuously clicked on the “Again” button to regenerate random sequences, until co-direct Eska called “Stop” with her eyes blocked. The end result is shown on the following screenshot. On Jan 21, 2022, one selected project decided to decline the offer due to over-commitment. The open slot goes to the next in line based on the Jan 8 lottery results.
