• Provide a visual representation of all Committee Members鈥� evaluations of proposals;
• Focus on only those areas deemed necessary by a consensus of Committee Members;
• Provide Originators with documented feedback that can be used to revise proposals; and
• Allow for data collection regarding proposals submitted to the EPCC.

Prior to the EPCC meeting, EPCC members will review each proposal and enter feedback for both the content of the documents and the entries in curriculog.  For each proposal, the EPCC Chair will use the data from the table to guide EPCC meetings (no matter if they are face-to-face, synchronous in Teams, or asynchronous in Teams). The originator will make a brief presentation about the proposal(s) and committee discussion based on the review document will occur afterwards.
