Quoted from the manual and bolded for emphasis.

I interpret that to mean new initiatives.

Also before they removed the feedback sheet was one of the main categories that teams needed to show new initiatives for that year to have a strong submission. We plateaued for a little bit in 2013 in terms of initiative and the feedback sheet telling us that was a big boon; we strived to add new outreach add events for the past two years and that has kept our submission strong.
