What you need to know
Overview papers are critical reviews of ADARs for applications on the direct pathway. They must:
- evaluate the approach taken, the evidence and the results
- review the clinical, economic, financial and usage information.
Our secretariat usually prepares overview papers.
Direct pathway ADARs may need a commentary instead if they raise complex issues, but this is rare.
For applications on the standard or expedited pathways, the critical review of your ADAR will be through a commentary.
