Viewing Critiques

Your ability to view critiques depends upon the type of reviewer that you are and the current IAR phase that the meeting is in. Critiques cannot be modified during the Read Phase and you will not be able to view critiques and scores for applications where you have conflicts of interest. When there is more than one critique to display, the critiques are merged into one file with each critique printed on a new page.

Regular reviewers—During the Read phase, you can usually view critiques posted by other reviewers to help you prepare for review meeting discussions. However, if you have not submitted your critique during the Submit phase, your SRA/GTA can block you from reading other critiques until you have submitted your own. If you are blocked from reading, you must submit your critique before you will be able to read other critiques.

Mail reviewers—You will not be able to view critiques that are submitted by other reviewers.

During the Submit phase, you can view critiques you have submitted from the List of Applications page, either one at a time or merged into one file.

During the Read Phase, you can view critiques in several ways:

all critiques for all applications in a specific meeting
all of your own critiques for a specific meeting
all critiques for your assigned applications
all critiques for one application merged into one file

Note: Subprojects are treated like all other applications. For example, if you are assigned to two subprojects and don't submit a critique on time for one of them, if the SRA/GTA blocks you from viewing other critiques you only will be blocked from viewing critiques for the specific subproject that doesn't yet have a critique submitted.

From the List of Meetings page, click the View List of Applications hyperlink (in the Action column) to open the List of Applications page (IAR0007).

To view an individual critique (during all IAR phases):

Click the View hyperlink in the Action column for the desired application. The critique is usually viewed in Adobe PDF, but may be displayed in the original Word/text format if the conversion hasn't yet occurred.

To view critiques for all applications in a meeting (during the IAR Read/Edit phases only):

Click the View All Meeting Critiques hyperlink. An Adobe PDF document of all critiques for all applications is created. The critiques are listed in order of application number with a secondary sort on the reviewer assignment role. Critiques for applications where there are conflicts of interest are omitted from the document.

To view all critiques that you have submitted (during all IAR phases):

Click the View My Critiques hyperlink. An Adobe PDF document of all your critiques is created.

To view all critiques that you have submitted for your assigned applications (during the IAR Read/Edit phases only):

Click the View All Critiques for Assigned Applications hyperlink. An Adobe PDF document of all your critiques is created.

To view all critiques submitted for a specific application (during the IAR Read/Edit phases only):

Click the View All Critiques hyperlink that appears under the Application column for the desired application. An Adobe PDF document of all critiques for the application is created. The critiques are listed in order of reviewer assignment role.
