Instructions for Using the Electronic Council Book (ECB) Hitlists


The ECB hit lists present an HTML table of applications that meets your search criteria. Each application entry in the hit list provides data relating to the PI, Institution, and review status of that application.

The hit list pages also provide features for further processing of the applications contained in the hit list. These features are detailed below in the Processing Individual Applications and Processing Multiple Summary Statements sections.

Processing Individual Applications

In each hit list entry, the data items Project Number and Study Section serve as links to more detailed information on the application. Clicking on Project Number will retrieve and display the full Summary Statement for that application. Clicking on Study Section will retrieve and display the IRG Meeting Roster for that application.

Each hit list entry also contains an email link that allows you to generate an email message to the Project Officer for that application. This feature only works if your browser is configured for email processing.

Processing Multiple Summary Statements

Above the application hit list is a row of action buttons that allow you to process "collections" of Summary statements with one click.

Selecting (Checking) Summary Statements for Processing

To include a Summary Statement in a download or print operation you must check the check box found in the Count data item for the application. These checkboxes will appear only for those applications for which a Summary Statement exists. The Check and Uncheck buttons above the hit list allow you to select or deselect all the check boxes in your hit list.
