SUBMIT PILOT PROJECT
Pro Tip! Keep in mind that QAQC time is counted in the total submission time. Do your best to submit before the final submission time to leave room for any revisions that need to be made.

What happens after the submission?

Step 1: Initial Application Review

In this step, our team will diligently review your initial submission, offering a series of comments for improvement. These comments, sent directly to your email, will identify areas that need revision to enhance the quality of your application.

Step 2: Sharpen Your Eye for Detail

Navigating revisions can be tricky, but it's an essential part of the process. We won't be providing images or annotations at this stage because we want to evaluate your ability to discern and rectify issues based on the feedback given. It's your chance to show us you have an eagle eye for details.

Step 3: Final Submission and Decision

Once you've implemented the necessary revisions, you will need to resubmit the BIMIT Pilot Project. Our team will conduct a final review, and you'll receive an email notifying you of our decision.
