The tables exclude applications that were rejected during the scrutiny and triage processes, and no ranking within columns should be inferred.
RfPB will fund applications that score in the range of 6-10, although a score of 6-10 does not guarantee funding. In exceptional circumstances and with approval from the Programme Director, applications may be invited/funded that fall below the fundable range (scoring 1-5).
