Note: the lead reviewer role is now provided as a default role in new Good Grants accounts. This article can be used to add the role to legacy accounts with a Premium plan and above.
A common request amongst programs that utilise Good Grants is a manager-type role that helps to monitor the reviewing process of applications without having access to other areas of the platform, like settings. A lead reviewer, as it is configured here, will be able to see the total combined score from all reviewers via the Applications page of the Review workspace from both the list view and within individual applications as shown below.
