Panel chair

With the role as chair for a review panel, you have access to functionality for distributing review tasks on applications, and sometimes project outlines, as well as approving the final statements. You can also upload documents that become available to the members of the review panel. The vice chair have the same access as the chair, and can be the acting chair when necessary, for instance when the chair has a conflict of interest.

Distribute applications

As a chair or vice chair you can distribute review tasks to the members of the review panel. You also have access to a summary that shows you the current distribution of review tasks. There are two ways to distribute review tasks, based on the list of applications or the list of reviewers.

The funder, and the workflow for the specific review, decides whether you need to distribute review tasks, of if that is handled by the funder.

Each application needs to have a rapporteur in order for you to save the distribution of review tasks. You cannot distribute an application if the reviewer has reported a conflict of interest for it. For that reason, we recommend that you do not perform your distribution until all reviewers have submitted their conflict of interest-reporting. In some cases the panel members also report competence when reporting their conflicts of interest, which is useful information in regards to the distribution.

Review tasks can be distributed either on the basis of applications or reviewers. In the Distribution summary you can find as summary showing how many applications each panel member has been assigned to review as rapporteur or reviewer.

Distribute priority on project outlines and applications

Sometimes the review in Prisma uses a function called priority. This functionality is used for project outlines but can also be used for full applications, both in one-step and two-step reviews where the application is preceded by a project outline. The distribution of priority is handled in the same way as the distribution of regular review tasks concerning assessments and preliminary statements, either by application or by reviewer.
