| Q: How often should a scientist be paneled? Where can I
find this information? A: Cyclic review of all scientist
positions is mandatory. A scientist should be paneled
1) Within 36 months of the scientists' being hired, 2) Within 48 months of the most recent
previous panel for scientists at grades GS-11, GS-12, and GS-13, or 3) Every 60 months for
scientists at grade GS-14 or higher. The Station Director may request reevaluation prior
to the mandatory cyclic review when the provisions in FSH 6109.15, section 32.4, on
reevaluation are met. This information is found in Manual 6151.31 under Cyclic Review, in Attachment B of the Guide.
