review committee

Assessment board members

A review committee is a group formally assembled to evaluate something—applications, proposals, research, or conduct.

Such committees assess grant applications, academic manuscripts for publication, or employee grievances.

The review committee approved funding for three of the twelve proposals.

The term implies structured deliberation rather than individual judgment.
