It should also be noted that the NMRN applied the 60% threshold to Criteria 1-4, as Criteria 5 was reserved for those shortlisted for post-submission interviews to complete the full evaluation. Therefore, the decision was based on criteria available at the time of the evaluation. the initial evaluation.",
