ESC/HECC Design Review Form

Congratulations on getting your capsule approved by a PHACS Scientific Working Group! Please fill out this form to move your capsule to the next stage in the PHACS research review process.

The Epidemiological and Statistical Methods Core (ESC) and Health Education and Community Core (HECC) are here to support researchers. It is our mission to provide vital perspectives and support throughout the research process that will help you achieve your objectives and to ensure our research supports the PHACS mission. Our reviews at this stage of the PHACS research review process are to help inform the development of your capsule into a concept sheet.

What to Expect

The leaders of the ESC and the HECC will conduct an initial review of your capsule. You can expect to hear from us within two weeks to let you know the next steps.
The ESC and/or HECC may then each perform a full review of the capsule. This would happen if we identify important design/analytic/community issues during the initial review, and/or if you request a full review from the Cores below.
We may ask you to attend the full review discussions or provide other types of information to us.

You can read about the ESC Design Review here and about the HECC review here.

If you have questions, please feel free to email the leadership of both Cores at [email alias].

When you submit this form, please also email your capsule and if relevant, any initial Working Group reviews to phacs.core.reviews@fstrf.org.
