Proposal Review Panels
Proposals submitted to EMSL's annual calls are reviewed by a panel of external researchers with domain expertise in the science areas. Each year, based on the responses received, EMSL's science area leads invite reviewers based on the expertise needed for a robust review of the proposals submitted within each field and topic area, schedule availability and the need to ensure broad and diverse representation on the panels. As part of the proposal package, authors may suggest new reviewers who they believe are especially well qualified to review the proposal and who are not recent collaborators or co-authors. Authors also may ask that certain reviewers not be assigned to review the proposal, indicating reasons for their request. The final decision regarding proposal review assignments remains with EMSL management.
