From the transcript
You know, while we're working on improving the initial application questions that we ask on the front end, we know that we are going to have some follow-up questions. We anticipate CMS having follow-up questions, so do be thinking ahead to understand that, you know, once we get through the application phase and the review phase, it's likely that the department will be coming back with more questions. But altogether, this means we're targeting about 11 weeks from application opening to awards beginning, compared to the 24 weeks that we've been working on under this first cycle.
