Panel Review

This page displays reviews assigned assigned based on the signed-in user as shown in Figure 59. If the user has no proposals assigned to them then the table on this page will be empty. Where the reviewers are added to a panel and proposals assigned to that panel, then the user can see those proposals and based on if they are science or technical reviewers then they can either review the technical feasibility of the proposal, science of the proposal or both.

Key Information and Actions

This section describes the core actions available to a Science/Technical Reviewer when performing proposal reviews.

Search and Filter Proposals

Use the search bar at the top of the page to quickly locate proposals by Title. You can also use the Status drop-down menu to filter proposals based on their current Science Review status.

Tip

Combine both the title search and status filter to narrow down proposals efficiently.

Conflict of Interest Declaration

When a Science Reviewer clicks the Page filter icon for the first time, a Conflict of Interest Declaration dialog appears, as shown in Figure 60.

Select the most appropriate declaration and click Submit. The available options are:

  • I have no conflict of interest

  • I am an investigator on this science idea

  • I am a current / recent collaborator of the author(s)

  • Other reasons prevent me from rendering a fair and impartial judgement

Note

You must complete the Conflict of Interest Declaration before proceeding to the science review screen. If a conflict is declared, the system will restrict access to the review form for that proposal. For technical review via the Page filter icon, no conflict declaration is needed.

Reviewing a Proposal

  • If no conflict is declared, the proposal science review screen will be accessible fro science reviews, as shown in Figure 61.

  • The review screen allows you to view key proposal details, enter comments, and assign ranks.

  • For technical reviews, the screen is shown in Figure 62

Ranking Proposals and Adding Comments

On the right-hand side of each proposal in read-only mode:

  1. Click the corresponding rank field to assign your score for science review or one of Yes, Maybe, No for technical review.

  2. Open the Comments tab to provide written feedback or justifications.

  3. Choose to either Save (to edit later) or Submit (to finalise).

Tip

It’s recommended to save your draft frequently before final submission, especially when entering extended comments.

Submitting a Review

Once you are satisfied with your assigned rank and comments, click the |submiticon| Submit Review button to finalise your review for that proposal.

Upon submission:

  • The review status will update to Reviewed.

  • The review form becomes read-only and can no longer be modified.

Warning

Ensure your comments and ranking are complete before submitting. Once submitted, the review is locked and cannot be re-opened or edited.
