Highly qualified Examiners and Judges who represent all five sectors and all areas of Florida review all GSA applications. All applicants remain anonymous throughout the process. Only the names of actual recipients are released. Names of applicants, individual applications, commentary, and scoring information developed during the review of applications are regarded as proprietary and are kept confidential. Rigorous rules are followed at every step of the award process. Members of the Board of Examiners are assigned to applications following strict conflict of interest rules and receive no information regarding the content or status of applications to which they are not assigned. It is a violation of the code for board members even to ask for information on applications other than those to which they are assigned.
