Meeting/Application Chair

As in regular review meetings, the Chair serves as the moderator of the discussion of scientific and technical merit of the applications being reviewed. The chair is also a peer reviewer for the meeting.

In cases where the Meeting Chair has a conflict on a particular application, another reviewer can be assigned as the "Application Chair". This task is performed in the Virtual Meeting List of All Applications screen (selected from the Go To: menu).

In order to change the chairperson for an application, select the Virtual Meeting List of All Applications screenfrom the Go To: menu.
