In 1997 the Research Training Program implemented a web-based application process and began accepting application materials electronically via e-mail and on-line through the web. Electronic sharing of information and submission of application materials steadily increased over the subsequent years. In 2001 the application and review processes were completely automated utilizing web technologies.
