Hi Reg,

This is the answer from our Proposal Development team:

The CSR website... only states that applications are “screened” by CSR.
It doesn’t say how. I think if anything is picked up in this vague
initial “screening” it goes through several levels of
review by real people. If there is any doubt, CSR also has an A2/A3
committee that reviews the applications in question. The info that is
helpful at this link is what CSR considers sufficient vs. insufficient
changes to create a ‘new’ application."

http://cms.csr.nih.gov/ResourcesforApplicants/OverlapEvaluation.htm

Given the volume of submissions it would make sense if the initial
screening was done by software.
