While it is helpful for the reviewer if the application is divided into the eight areas, it is not a requirement. It is also possible that even if the application is divided into seven areas there may be information relevant to one area of evaluation contained in another section or sections. For this reason it is advisable to read the entire grant prior to assigning scores to any of the areas of the grant review. The maximum score for any application is 100 points. Each of the eight areas of the application is worth a specific number of points.
Several areas have sub-areas.
It is divided into three sub-areas which are each worth 5 points. The attached scoring sheet indicates the maximum number of points that can be awarded for each area and sub-area. Each proposal will include a project checklist for each participant. Although no points are attached to the checklist, the checklist will assist reviewers in evaluating and scoring relevant areas of the application. The scoring sheet also provides space to make comments about each of the areas and sub-areas that are evaluated.
