NCHEP Submission Review Rubric

All submissions for the 12th NCHEP will be reviewed by volunteers from the higher education in prison community of stakeholders.

All submissions will first be pre-screened by a member of the Alliance team. The pre-screen will ensure that all required components of the submissions are included before being sent to a community reviewer. Proposals that are missing content will be returned to the submitter for completion and will be sent to reviewers once the proposal is complete. Each complete submission will be reviewed by two community reviewers and will undergo an open review process, which means that the identities of both submitters and reviewers will be known to each other and disclosed at the start of the process. The decision to engage an open-review process is part of an effort to bring more transparency and equity to this submission process. Reviewers will be asked to provide feedback to authors based upon the following:
