The 2021 merit review process will be conducted entirely electronically
Dossiers are to be assembled electronically and saved as a searchable PDF document. Any documents should be shared securely via email or shared via Google Drive, with access limited only to necessary viewers.
When compiling documentation, the review initiator will facilitate the required electronic signatures prior to submission of the dossier.
Electronic signatures may be added to the PDF in Adobe Acrobat. Electronic signature instructions can be found here, under the "Steps to Sign a PDF" section.
Should any document require additional signature following RI or AUL submission of the dossier, LHRD will facilitate any required signatures via Docusign request. Confidential files should be stored securely by all reviewers, and deleted once LHRD has confirmed receipt.
Following submission of the dossier, LHRD will facilitate completion of the Certification and Document checklist electronically. All further routing of the dossier will be coordinated by LHRD.
