Way back in June I indicated I would write up a paragraph that we could all potentially use when writing up proposals where indication of a center of excellence would help in the review process.  This is my first stab at that language - it may seem generic - but the language used reflects application requirements … so if you don’t like how something is worded, please feel free to revise/add - but think about why a statement might be used as well.  

If you’re applying for an SCRI this year- consider adapting the language for your proposal - it’s a paragraph and takes up space - but it really might help in the review process as a way to set yourself apart from the competition.

I’m attaching the .pdf factsheet I used as a guide for the write-up.
