What is the purpose of pre-review for Full-Board applications?
Pre-Review is intended to identify proposals that require revision or submission of additional information to avoid being deferred during the full Board review. If a proposal is found deficient in the pre-review, the investigator will be informed of the revisions that need to be made, or the additional information that needs to be submitted, before the proposal will be placed on the meeting agenda. The investigator is allowed one week to submit a revised electronic proposal and paper copies for distribution to the Board prior to the meeting. Pre-review increases the likelihood that applications will be approved or conditionally-approved at the Board meeting.
