Stakeholder Needs
National Needs
National Plan
Assignment of Objectives by National Program Leader
Researchers write 5-year plan for research
Outside Scientific Review Research does
not go forward5- year Research Program begun
![Page 9: Office of Scientific Quality Review Dr. Joyce Loper, Scientific Quality Review Officer Dr. Michael Strauss, Peer Review Coordinator.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070306/55164d96550346c6758b585e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What Makes Project Plans Unique?
Directed Research Objectives set through internal planning processes
Funds already allocated for researchMay be large and with collaborators Range of disciplines, locations, scientists
Long-term 5-year horizon with contingencies
![Page 10: Office of Scientific Quality Review Dr. Joyce Loper, Scientific Quality Review Officer Dr. Michael Strauss, Peer Review Coordinator.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070306/55164d96550346c6758b585e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Like Review of a ManuscriptDocument should present a logical, coherent
narrative with a clear path for the research.
- “Editor” = SQRO
- Three outcomes1. Publish as presented (no revision)
2. Publish after revision as monitoredby the “editor” (SQRO). Reviewers clear on whatresearchers are planning (minor gaps in info).(minor, moderate revision)
3. Publish after revision and reexamination by both reviewers and SQRO. Reviewers not at allclear about what researchers are planning (majorgaps in info). (major revision, not feasible)

Review Criteria
Adequacy of ApproachAre the research plan and procedures appropriate? Is there sufficient information to understand the procedure proposed? Does the plan display understanding of the technologies and methodologies proposed? Are the roles of researchers and collaborators clearly presented. Does the overall plan present a clear, logical, experimental design? Is the plan well-written and clear?
Probability of SuccessIs the plan likely to lead to success or, if successful will it produce significant new knowledge (If there is a significant risk of failure, are the risks justified by the potential payoffs?)?
Merit and SignificanceWill this lead to new information, new findings, or new understandings? What would be the impact of this work on stakeholders? Society? Agriculture?

Action Class RatingsNo Revision
Excellent project. No changes or additions are required.
Minor RevisionApproach sound. Some minor changes required
Moderate RevisionSome change to an approach required but project is generally feasible.
Major RevisionRequires significant revision. Major gaps in plan or information.
Not FeasibleMajor flaws, omissions. Unfeasible or not possible to assess.
