Grant Review Roundtable
How to Submit Proposal or Sponsor Critique for Review
Proposal review requests must be submitted to pht180@rit.edu a minimum of two weeks prior to the scheduled round table session. Please click here for the full PHT180 Grant Review Roundtable Guidelines.
Submit a request for review to pht180@rit.edu.
The area chair will assemble a small group of faculty to participate in the discussion.
Option 1 - Full Proposal Review
During round table discussion, PIs submitting the proposals will be responsible for taking notes of the round table discussion. At least two weeks prior to the scheduled roundtable discussion submit to pht180@rit.edu the following:
Full proposal
Biosketch
Grant PA or RFP
Option 2 - One-page project summary and Presentation
At least two weeks prior to the scheduled roundtable discussion, email to pht180@rit.edu a one-page summary and target solicitation. At the roundtable discussion, the Affiliated Faculty member will present for 15 minutes and then be responsible for taking notes of ensuing roundtable discussion.
The Presentation should include: Proposed research, Rationale, Prior Arts, Timeline, Budget and Collaborators.
After the presentation the roundtable participants will ask questions and provide useful feedback for 45 minutes.
The PHT180 Grant Review Roundtable assists affiliated faculty through a pre submission critique.
Goals of this process:
- Increase the quality and scientific rigor of proposal writing
- Enhance proposal success with external funding agencies.
How often:
- External grant proposal review forums will be held monthly during the academic year, and by special request in the summer.

How it works:
- One Chairperson will oversee and coordinate the monthly event.
- Submitted proposal request will be reviewed and discussed in small group during round table meeting, coordinated by area chairs with appropriate expertise for the topic areas of the proposal
- Proposal review request must be submitted two weeks ahead of a scheduled round table meeting
