Hello Colleagues,

Our office is trying to create a standard process that a review committee can follow when reviewing proposals for limited submission competitions - particularly pertaining to criteria used for the review and feedback given to the PIs.

A few specific questions:

1. Do you have a standard review form that the review committee uses?
2. What criteria are used to review the proposals? NSF is easy since they have their own merit review criteria, but how about criteria for other federal agencies and private foundations?  Do you tailor the review criteria based on the proposal?
3. Is the review committee required to give feedback that can be passed on to the selected and not selected PIs - comments on why the proposal was/was not selected?
4. Are the proposals ranked and is this ranking shared with the selected PIs?
5. Are selected PI names and proposal titles announced campus-wide or is everything anonymous?

If anybody has a standard template or criteria that the review committee uses to review proposals, I would appreciate it if you could share it.

Thank you!
