Non-Disclosure Agreement

Agency-Specific Instructions: This content applies to DOC users only.

For each meeting for which a reviewer is enabled, IAR checks to determine if the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA/COI) has been electronically signed.

The NDA/COI statement must be signed one time for each meeting, regardless of meeting phase. If the reviewer has not signed the agreement for a particular meeting, the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA/COI) link displays in the Meeting column under the three-dot ellipses icon. This link accesses the Review Conflict of Interest and Confidentiality Certification for Peer Reviewers.

NOTE: The Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA/COI) link only displays if the reviewer has not signed the agreement for the meeting. The link is removed once the agreement is signed.

Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA/COI) for DOC users

In IAR, reviewers are required to agree to a confidentiality and contact restriction statement, as well as acknowledge that there are no-known conflicts of interest with the reviewer’s ability to objectively review and critique the grant application to which they are assigned.

Please see Grant Reviewer Training for more information.
