Internet Assisted Review (IAR)

Internet Assisted Review (IAR) is an eRA module used in tandem with the Peer Review module to help expedite the scientific review of grant applications by providing a standard process for Reviewers to submit their critiques, preliminary scores, and final scores and to view grant applications and related meeting materials via Commons. IAR also has the ability to enable reviewers to view the critiques of others before the actual meeting (unless conflicts of interest exist). As a result, review meetings can contain more informed discussions.

If you hold the IAR role - and you are enabled for review meeting(s) - you can access the features included in the module.

IAR has its own online help system for reviewers. If you hold an IAR role, you can access the IAR online help system for reviewers by selecting any of the question mark (?) help icons on the screens within the module or access it directly via this link: http://www.era.nih.gov/erahelp/IAR_Rev.
