Proposal Acceptance
Proposals will undergo a blind review by the Colloquium committee based on this proposal rubric. Reviewers will use the rubric as a guide but will take a holistic approach when evaluating proposals. While individual components may be rated, final selection decisions will consider the overall quality of submissions and the full pool of proposals, rather than relying solely on rubric scores. Status notifications will be made in early November.
