Confidentiality
To protect the confidentiality of personal information, applications for the supplement are evaluated internally and any related information is removed from files submitted to the juries or assessors. Care is taken to ensure that nothing identifies a grant recipient as having reported a disability when publishing lists of grants awarded.
