Mock Panel Review Session
Session Details
The Mock Panel Review session will take place on Day 2 (May 16, 2024) of the workshop and will provide participants with the opportunity to serve as reviewers on a mock panel and review a set of CAREER proposals. During this session, participants will be separated into small groups. Each group will have four hours to review a set of CAREER proposals, discussing the proposal, formulating and/or submitting a review, and then putting the proposal in a ranked category. Each group will be guided through this process by an expert moderator. The session will culminate with a report out, where the results from each small group will be shared with all workshop participants. Additional information is located on the FAQ page.
