As a Phase I awardee, when can we anticipate preparing a proposal for Phase II?

Instructions and specific dates for Phase II will be provided by your DAF awarding site contractor. This usually occurs towards the end of the Phase I technical duration and the final reporting stage. A Phase II award is based on the results of your Phase I project and the scientific, technical, and commercial merit of your new Phase II proposal.
