Cornell Lee Cross II, the Associate Director for Programs at OCAST, commented, "Of the 42 proposals submitted in the most recent OARS funding cycle, the 3DIcon proposal was not only selected to receive full funding, it received the highest ranking possible in that funding cycle. Our independent third-party reviewers gave the 3DIcon proposal the highest ranking possible because the proposal had 1) a very credible research & development plan; 2) a well thought out commercialization plan that took into consideration both supply chain and downstream value chain partnerships; and 3) the huge positive potential of the business and its corresponding impact on the state's economy."

Proposals that are submitted for funding under the OARS program are reviewed and ranked by independent technical and business experts throughout the U.S. Summary comments from the experts that reviewed the 3DIcon proposal included: "A top notch program, very, high payoff with moderate risk," and "The research is in a fertile area for technology development," and "The topic is current and the Federal government is funding considerable research in related areas."
