From the transcript
So this slide provides some insight into how the application is likely to be structured to account for all of the changes that we've been talking about. There'll be one application portal regardless of what type of pathway you're trying to apply for or what type of initiative your project fits under. So you'll likely start by choosing the initiative that best fits your project, and you can submit a project under any of the 6 initiatives, but we really will try to align you to one of the initiatives at the beginning. You'll also identify for us whether your project fits under one of the focus areas that we've identified for that cycle. And if so, there may be a few additional questions that are specific to that work.
