Panel Process
You are likely going to be inviting panelists to review your submitted applications, and GO Smart makes it a breeze. Use our panel builder to create single or multiple panels per grant opportunity. Invite panelists to their own portal where they can cleanly review, comment on and score assigned applications. Finally, pull a panelist report to review panelists’s scores and make your award selections!
BUILD YOUR PANEL
Use the panel builder to create streamlined panels. Determine a few settings such as open and close dates and offer your applicants instructions. Create custom criteria, asking panelists to consider just what you want them to, then set a score range allowing them to easily quantify their consideration. Use this space to assign returning or new panelists. Finally, assign the appropriate applications and determine from beginning to end who sees what.

PANELIST PORTAL
Invite panelists to their own portal where you have provided instructions and a clean space to review, comment and score on their assigned applications. Allow them to generate their own panelbook, a PDF of all applications that can be viewed offline. Let them sort their assigned applications by column headers, including a Score column, allowing them to see who has been scored, who is incomplete, and who has yet to be scored. Once they have selected an applicant or clicked Score Applicants, they will view that applicants submission, their support materials, and scorecard where they will see your custom criteria and score ranges.

PANELIST REPORTS
After your panelists have completed their scoring, you can pull a comprehensive report of their scores and comments. Panelist reports include a coversheet of the basic details, an overview that calculates and displays the average score across all panelists, and a deep dive into the individual scores and comments per panelist per application.
