Panel Composition
Your Progress Review Panel (PRP) in the Faculty of Medicine will consist of a Chair and two Reviewers. The Chair must be a UQ academic staff member, with sufficient discipline knowledge related to the HDR topic and experience with HDR Supervision and chairing Progress Reviews. Where possible, the Chair should not have a strong conflict of interest (COI) with your advisory team. A list of recommended PRP Chairs across the Faculty of Medicine is available online.
Reviewers should have a good knowledge of your area of research but should not: be working on the same project, report to (or supervise) a member of your advisory team or be a member of your advisory team. It is important that Reviewers are recognised as being independent and can give un-conflicted advice to both you and your advisory team.
