Key Information and Actions

This section describes the key functionality available on the Panel Management page.

Panel Creation

Panel creation is automatic. Currently, only one panel named Science Verification is created by default. It appears on the left-hand side of the page, as shown in Figure 57.

Note

Additional panels may be introduced in future cycles. For now, all proposals are associated with the default Science Verification panel.

Assignment of Proposals

Click the Page filter icon at the top-right corner of the page to automatically assign proposals to the active panel. The Admin can also manually re-assign or remove a proposal from a panel by toggling the check box next to each item.

To view all reviewable proposals, select the PROPOSALS / SCIENCE IDEAS tab (see Figure 58). Reviewable proposals or science ideas are those that have been submitted or are currently under review.

Assignment of Reviewers

When the Admin opens this page, the default view lists all available reviewers, both Science and Technical. By selecting or deselecting the check boxes, the Admin can add or remove reviewers from the active panel.

Note

Notification for reviewers will be implemented in the future.

Creation of Reviews and Decisions

Once reviewers are assigned to a panel, the corresponding Review and Decision records for the proposals in that panel are created automatically. These records enable reviewers to submit scores and comments, and allow chairs to make final recommendations.

  • Panel decision is made based on outcome from independent technical and science review.

Note

Reviewers list is a live system that pulls all available reviewers with their review roles.
