We request that panelists commit to full-time collaboration during each week of the workshop (approximately 40 hours per week). The weekly schedule will be divided between 30-35 hours independently reviewing manuscript entries and 5-10 hours of training sessions or team meetings. Each panelist will set the time table for their independent reviewing according to their own schedule. The schedule for the team meetings and training sessions will be set by workshop organizers. We anticipate that a required team meeting will be held each day for approximately 1-2 hours. At the start of the workshop, we may hold more than one training session per day.
