The final stage of evaluation is the establishment of an order of merit in which all competing proposals are ranked on the basis of their respective military relevance and scientific merit evaluations. Award amount will be negotiated with those proposals recommended for funding. Awards depend upon the availability of funds and the priority which the Navy determines to exist at the time of award.
