Vetting workflow
- Open the institution’s faculty directory and confirm the candidate is current and active.
- Capture the official email (typical pattern:
firstname.lastname@<institution>.edu).
- Run the COI checklist for both Stephen Chan and Joerg Osterrieder against this candidate (see COI Checklist).
- Update
_data/reviewers.yml: set email, change coi_status to verified or replace the candidate.
- When at least the first 3 slots are
verified, the EOI is ready to submit.
Selection guidance
- Each reviewer must have demonstrable expertise in the proposed area.
- Each must satisfy the COI definition (PDF Appendix A).
- Spread across institutions and countries strengthens the slate.
- Avoid reviewers from PIs’ own institutions, recent collaborators, advisees, or close advisors.
