The Opportunity:
SEA 05TU University Affiliated Research Center (UARC) Comprehensive Review – Independent Peer Reviewer
Successful candidate shall provide the following support to SEA 05TU, the University Affiliated Research Center Program Office:
The Independent Peer Review occurs after the Navy completes its draft Comprehensive Review Report and the associated Technical Addendum and after the UARC completes its UARC Comprehensive Review White Paper.
The Independent Peer Reviewer will review the draft Navy Comprehensive Review Report, including the Technical Addendum prepared by the Navy, the UARC Comprehensive Review White Paper, and any other relevant documentation provided by the Navy Primary Sponsor’s office and the UARC.
Following the documentation review, the Independent Peer Reviewer compiles a list of discussion items that need further explanation or require additional supporting information and/or clarification. This list is provided to the UARC under review and Navy UARC Office for response as warranted.
After the UARC’s follow-up responses are received and analyzed, the Independent Peer Reviewer generates a list of items (agenda) for discussion and review during a site visit to the UARC.
During the reviewer’s site visit, which the Navy UARC Office does not attend to ensure the reviewer’s independence, the reviewer meets UARC management, technical, and administrative staff as necessary for detailed discussions, facility tours, discusses the reviewer’s preliminary findings with senior UARC leadership, and adjudicates all areas of question.
The Independent Peer Reviewer prepares a final report summarizing the findings of their documentation review and site visit. The Independent Peer Review is expected to take approximately three months to complete if the UARC is adequately responsive to requests for documentation and meetings are productive. The Independent Peer Review final report is submitted to the Navy UARC Office and provided to the UARC under review. The final report will be considered and marked at least as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
