(a) If you are a State commission applying for State competitive funding, you must prioritize the proposals you submit in rank order based on their relative quality and according to the following table:
| If you submit this number of state competitive proposals to the corporation |
Then you must rank this number of proposals |
|---|---|
| 1 to 12 | At least top 5. |
| 13 to 24 | At least top 10. |
| 25 or more | At least top 15. |
(b) While the rankings you provide will not be determinative in the grant selection process, and the Corporation will not be bound by them, we will consider them in our selection process.
