Introduction
Prospectus Format and Conflicts-Of-Interest Lists
Project Plan Prospectus
The five-page prospectus serves as an expedited communication tool among all levels of ARS, but especially between the scientists and the NP Team, to establish each project's objectives and approaches. The prospectus is also used by OSQR to select peer reviewers. Immediately after receiving approved prospectuses, panel chairs and OSQR begin identifying and retaining peer reviewers. The prospectus contains objectives, need for research, approach & procedures, collaborations, and conflicts of interest.
