Site Visit, Grant Applications SV  
A site visit is made to obtain sufficient information to review an application when such information cannot be obtained in any other way.

Site visits may be carried out by a standing SRG, a subcommittee (or working group) of a standing SRG, or a SEP. Site visits, reverse site visits, or applicant interviews related to evaluation of an application must be conducted with the DFO in attendance. The principles for selecting reviewers, managing COI or appearances of COI, maintaining confidentiality and non-disclosure, and conducting the site visit or applicant interview are the same as those used for other SRG meetings.

The review panel evaluates, through direct interaction with the principal investigator and associates:

  1. their experience, knowledge of the field, exact responsibilities on the project, and interrelationships;
  2. budgets and possible scientific and fiscal overlaps;
  3. the physical facilities, laboratories, and equipment;
  4. experimental procedures that may be vital to the success of the proposed research; and/or
  5. research materials and raw data essential to the conduct of the proposed research.
