This is, you know, some organizations may have self-selected and said, you know, if they had multiples that move forward, maybe they decided to focus their efforts in any given area. I think this is common to see, you know, a little bit of folks who were invited or selected to advance recognizing that maybe this isn't the right time or not completing that application, but we did want to share that, you know, starting with our initial nearly 1,800 letters of interest, you know, moving down to what's the body of applications that the department is currently reviewing, we are looking at 365 proposals that have been submitted, one for every day of the year."

From the transcript
So I think the key takeaway on slide 4 is that as, you know, we've completed the application period, we know that we advanced 403 proposals into that application process. And we anticipated that we wouldn't receive 403 full applications. And so we've received 365. This is, you know, some organizations may have self-selected and said, you know, if they had multiples that move forward, maybe they decided to focus their efforts in any given area. I think this is common to see, you know, a little bit of folks who were invited or selected to advance recognizing that maybe this isn't the right time or not completing that application, but we did want to share that, you know, starting with our initial nearly 1,800 letters of interest, you know, moving down to what's the body of applications that the department is currently reviewing, we are looking at 365 proposals that have been submitted, one for every day of the year.
