Final Scores
The Final Scores screen provides SROs with a view of score information for each application in the meeting. Using this screen, SROs can perform the following functions:
- View critiques for an application
- View all scores for an application
- View number of conflicts per application
- View number of assigned Reviewers per application
- View the range of scores of the assigned Reviewers and of the total Reviewers per application
- Delete all final scores
- Sweep specific applications to ND, DF, or NR
- Access the Final Scores Details for a selected application
- Access the final score matrix
The Final Scores screen is accessed via selecting the Final Scores navigation link on most of the major IAR screens or by selecting the Final Scores link from the three-dot ellipses icon on the List of Meetings. Final Scores is available as long as the meeting phases are set in the Control Center.
NOTE: The list of applications on the screen is filtered for Phase 2 if the option Display Phase 2 Applications Only is set to Yes in the Control Center. In this case, the words - Phase 2 Only will appear next to the screen title. Refer to Display Phase2 Applications Only for information on this setting.
Links specific to final score features appear above the list of applications. These links are used for viewing a scores report, deleting scores, and sweeping scores.
Final Score Matrix
This link opens an Excel report showing all Reviewers' scores for each application in the meeting. Each row of the report includes the application number (each application appears once per report), the PI name (default sort), and each score for every Reviewer in the meeting.
Delete All Final Scores
Removes all final scores in the meeting.
Sweep Selected to ND/Sweep Selected to DF/Sweep Selected to NR
Used with the Sweep column checkboxes, selecting these link sweeps the scores of the selected application(s) to Not Discussed (ND), Deferred (DF), or Not Recommended (NR).
Refer to Sweeping Final Scores for more information.
IMPORTANT: To prevent scores from being overwritten while Reviewers are completing their final score sheets, the IAR and Peer Review systems prevent SROs from modifying scores (including submitting, editing, and deleting) during the timeframe of final scoring (i.e., the dates entered in the Control Center for Final Scores Submission Duration) when the Allow Final Scoring Submission option is set to Yes. During final scoring, the links for sweeping and deleting scores are removed from the screen. A message at the top of the screen will indicate that: You cannot update scores at this time. Only reviewers can update scores while Final Scoring is in session.
Similar to other screens in IAR, a table on the screen displays the list of applications. The information in this list provides a snapshot of scores information for each application.
The columns in this table include:
Select All
Checkboxes used when sweeping scores. Refer to Sweeping Final Scores for more information.

The order of review for the application as set in the Peer Review system. If Discussion Order has been set in Peer Review, this column's heading will be DO and the order will represent the discussion order.

The All Scores table shows criterion and preliminary scores for the application from each Reviewer. Refer to View All Scores – All Scores Table for more information.
Part of the Application Number column includes the three-dot ellipsis icon for actions. Clicking the icon presents a menu of options. You can select View All Scores, view Final Scores Details, or View All Critiques.
