Compiling and Uploading Pre-Proposals; Accepting for Review

For each proposal,

  1. In FMP, go to Pre-Proposals > Coverpage, and click the PDF button under 'Reports'. This triggers creation of a folder on the user's desktop named for the related Proposal ID, into which the system deposits the pre-proposal coverpage, narrative, budget worksheets, and CV / resumes.
  2. Use a program like Adobe Acrobat to compile all of these pdfs into a single pdf named for the related Proposal ID (e.g. 'Bray_1234.pdf').
  3. Go to Pre-Proposals > Files, and upload the compiled pre-proposal pdf via the blue upload button. The uploaded pre-proposal will become available to PIs via the Control Panel, eSG Admins via the Administrative Review web interface, and to pre-proposal reviewers in the Pre-Proposal Review web interface.
  4. At the top of Pre-Proposals, toggle the 'Accepted for Review?' to 'Yes'.

Setting-up Reviewers for Pre-Proposal Review, in FMP

Add / Edit Reviewers

  • At a minimum, the following fields must be populated when adding a reviewer: last name, first name, email, and password (in 'Contact Info').
  • Add the role of 'Pre-Proposal Reviewer' via the Roles list at top-right.

Roles are used for system and organizational purposes. The following roles are used by the system to permit access to web interfaces:

Pre-Proposal Reviewer
Peer Reviewer
Panel Reviewer
Admin
Sub-Admin

Other roles may be added and applied to reviewers, depending upon your program. For example, if you have two groups of peer reviewers, you'd assign everyone in the group to the 'Peer Reviewer' role, and then assign each group to its own organizational role.

Assign Reviewers to Pre-Proposals

  • Select the Assignments tab. You may assign pre-proposals to a reviewer by call or proposal. To assign a reviewer to an entire call of pre-proposals accepted for review, use the select drop-down at right. To assign a reviewer to a specific proposal (among active calls and proposals accepted for review), click the green [+] button beneath 'Assigned Pre-Proposals for Review', and select the proposal via the drop-down that appears.

Email Reviewers

  • Use the email template 'announcement of pre-proposal review process', which includes reviewer-specific login privileges and pre-proposal review instructions. Customize this template if necessary. [ see [manuals:General FMP Information] - Email Tool ]
