Ancillary reviews are carried out in parallel with standard review cycles. As a user with edit rights on a project, you can assign ancillary reviewers, who can submit their reviews at any point in the project workflow. Activities causing a state transition display information about all ancillary reviews assigned for the project. They also warn of any outstanding required ancillary reviews.

Site Managers can specify a state in which outstanding required ancillary reviews block the workflow and hide the Create Award activity. If a block point is set at Designated Review and a required ancillary review is outstanding, the designated reviewer can still initiate the Request Changes activity, but is blocked from completing the Submit for Final Review activity. |
