Call to researchers to participate in peer review in 2009

31 October 2008

NHMRC invites researchers to register as potential NHMRC assessors, to be considered for membership of one of our peer review panels in 2009.

CEO thanks researchers

14 August 2008

Each year NHMRC establishes Grant Review Panels (GRP), which are responsible for reviewing and ranking NHMRC grant applications.

For the past three weeks in Melbourne, NHMRC has conducted a GRP for project grants starting in 2009.

During the three weeks almost 500 assessors reviewed 2790 of applications. Assessors are senior researchers who have received funding from NHMRC.

Applying for NHMRC grants is highly competitive and the peer review is a critical part of the process. It is an enormous task to undertake, but necessary to ensure the transparency, probity and fairness of our funding.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each researcher who volunteered their valuable time to review the applications.

Without their help NHMRC wouldn’t have the reputation it does for its rigorous review process.
