Scoring Instructions

Applications are evaluated in a double-blind review process and tracked using “sort numbers” that correspond to the rows on your score sheets. Please ensure the sort numbers align to those on your score sheets—and don't resort the score sheets.

1. Review Applications

Most reviewers will receive two “application packets” formatted as PDFs and named with their “review group. One packet includes student grant proposals; the other includes team grant proposals. Due to differences in the number of reviewers and proposals submitted, you might not be assigned a second packet of team grant proposals.

2. Enter Scores

After reviewing the proposals, enter your evaluations on the attached score sheets in the yellow columns to the right of the bold line. Due to differences in the scoring criteria for assistantships and individual grants, some cells on the score sheet will appear shaded in dark gray to indicate that a score is not needed for that criterion.

3. Optional: Flag for Further Review

If you notice anything questionable about the proposal—e.g., eligibility issues, compliance plans, personally identifiable information or anything else of concern—please "flag for further review" on your score sheet.

4. Optional: Provide Comments

Provide additional comments you would like UROP to consider.

5. Return Scores

Return scores to urop@colorado.edu by the date posted.
