Once the intake for letters of intent is closed, all submissions are reviewed for completion. Compliant submissions are scored by a team of reviewers, who have declared conflicts of interest and are bound by confidentiality agreements. Projects are scored against the CFIN selection criteria outlined in the Food Innovation Challenge guidelines, posted on our website. The top scoring submissions will be invited for a full proposal. Full proposals will be scored by a team of reviewers and all the submissions will be reviewed and discussed by CFIN’s Innovation Advisory Council. Decisions will be recommended by the Innovation Advisory Council to CFIN’s Board of Directors.
