Transformative Application Bundles:
Bundling Rationale and Prioritization Process
§Consolidate input from external stakeholder groups, workshop
§Consider internal stakeholder priorities
□Leveraging on-going or other planned research
§Group Applications into Bundles
□Similar high-level data needs
□Interaction among applications predicted
□Evident value in concurrent development
□Encourage coordinated non-federal research activity
§Bundling increases transformational impacts
and reduces costs of research and development
§Resource-constrained prioritization process based on expected value of developing application bundles, as well as individual applications
□Applications the program cannot fund at this time are still candidates for collaborative development with other programs or stakeholders
