  • Do not spend time attempting to identify the team or the principle investigator.
  • Past usage of HST is no longer a consideration

    • responsible use of data and timely publications are valid issues, which should be addressed in successful proposals (see Proposer Guidelines in Anonymous Reviews).
  • Chairs need to be vigilant; redirect or cut-off discussion when discussion moves to PI or team. Move the discussion back to the scientific merit of the proposal.
