For ese of use, eh form e owloe seprtely from the elose CD or the NtSIP Wesite.

This will e performe utomtilly whe itertive versio of the Eligiility Frmework Form, ville o the NtSIP Wesite, is use. NB the mximum sore for eh of the three sets of eligiility riteri is 100.

Usig the owlole NtSIP Eligiility Frmework Forms o the CD or o the NtSIP Wesite, servies their ow mtrix to the Sorig Summry Sheet or use the form versio tht ilues pre-prepre mtrix. The eviee for the pre-prepre mtrix e fou i susetio 1.3.3 Support Allotio Mtries pp 10-14. I the se of the MSI support llotio mtrix it is tiipte tht pproprite omitio of speilist sesory professiols woul e ilue.
