Blind Review

UROP guidelines require applicants to remove all personally identifiable information (PII) in their proposals, specifically that “proposals must not contain the student's or mentor's personal information (name and gender) to ensure the integrity of blind review.” If you encounter proposals that include the student and/or mentor’s name and/or gender, make a note in the comments section of the score sheet. UROP does not typically disqualify applications for including PII, but you may factor it into your scoring decision.
