1 Introduction
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science (SC) Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) is SC’s web-based system for managing proposals and subsequent financial assistance awards (grant and cooperative agreements).
Once a decision has been made on a proposal (Decline or Recommended for Funding), the applicant can view the reviews for his or her proposal.
The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions for users to follow to view their reviews.

- The user has an active, external account.
- The user’s institution has submitted a proposal, and a decision has been made on that proposal.
- For Non-SBIR proposals, the user possesses the PI role.
- For SBIR proposals, the user possesses the PI or SRO role.
