STScI has implemented a dual-anonymous proposal system for the HST proposal review process. Under this system, not only are proposers unaware of the identity of the members on the review panel, but the reviewers do not have explicit knowledge of the proposal teams.  The goal is to mitigate unconscious bias and allow reviewers to concentrate on the science rather than the scientist. Following the successful implementation with HST, the Director of the NASA Astrophysics Division, Paul Hertz, has directed all Astrophysics GO Programs to implement this process. This workshop will share STScI’s experiences in developing and implementing the dual –anonymous -anonymous review process.

This is a one-day workshop. The morning will be devoted to talks and panel discussions  covering the development and implementation of the HST process, including feedback from representatives of the community and the Telescope Allocation Committee panels; the afternoon will provide an opportunity for representatives from other observatories and missions to explore how the process can be adapted for their use.
