Relevance	Does the request fit the objectives of the funding type (Rapid, Rescue, Reach) and align with one or more of IEE's research themes?
Collaboration	Does the proposed funding benefit and facilitate a more robust energy and environment research community, especially across colleges and disciplines?
Impact	What is the likelihood that the proposed funding will provide measurable research growth beyond the direct funds associated with the request?
