GSR Online Application Review System
Faculty wishing to review all GSR applications submitted to the department may do so by clicking the button on the right. Contact Lori Smith at smithl@edc.pitt.edu to obtain a user name and password enabling system access.

The two links you will see represent:
  • GSR applications and CV’s submitted by our accepted fall 2008 PhD or DrPH applicants desiring funding (supplemental GSPH application information is also included).


  • GSR applications and CV’s submitted by current doctoral students desiring funding (supplemental GSPH application information is included if electronically available).
All applicants listed have been accepted at both the departmental and school levels. Applicants should have received e-mail confirmation of their acceptance from the GSPH Admission Coordinator, although they might not have received GSPH admission offer letters yet.

GSR Award Process:
  • Review the applications of our most highly ranked accepted doctoral applicants as designated by the Admissions Committee first. When these applicants are selected, they will be identified with numbers (1--,2--,3-- or 4) before their names. Please contact Lori Smith prior to communicating with one of these individuals if you may be interested in offering him/her a GSR.


  • Review the other GSR applications on the list if none of the highly ranked accepted applicants are an appropriate fit for your position.


  • Contact Lori Smith at smithl@edc.pitt.edu when decisions are made to extend offers. Lori will provide further instructions and contact Linda Deluco for final confirmation that sufficient funding is available.


  • OFFICIAL GSR OFFERS WILL BE EXTENDED CENTRALLY BY THE DEPARTMENT. This will enable more effective tracking of the overall position award process. Although you may inform applicants/students that you are offering them positions, Lori Smith will e-mail recipients on behalf of Dr. Ness and request e-mail responses. These responses will be forwarded to you for your records.


  • Applicants/students awarded fall 2008 GSR’s will receive appointment letters detailing position information in late August.
Note:
  • It is possible that multiple faculty members may be interested in the same applicant or student. It is recommended that you ask if another faculty member has already contacted him/her.


  • GSR positions must be funded by grants including full indirect costs. If you need further clarification regarding this, please contact Linda Deluco at deluco@pitt.edu.
