Participating in peer review

NHMRC invites researchers to register as potential NHMRC assessors and to be considered for membership of one of our peer review panels in 2010.

The effectiveness and sustainability of NHMRC peer review processes depends on researchers with excellent track records and wide-ranging expertise in Australian and international health and medical research fields.

How to apply

Researchers who are not existing NHMRC grant holders are asked to complete the Peer Review Participation Form and submit it to NHMRC.

Current NHMRC Grant holders are requested not to use this form but instead to maintain a current CV/Profile in RGMS.

If you are not invited to participate

If you are not invited to participate in the review process in a particular year, this does not in any way imply that your expertise has been ignored or undervalued. As you can appreciate, selection of assessors and panel members is dependent on many factors including the nature of the applications received.

Peer nominations

We also invite you to nominate any other potential assessors, both in Australian and in overseas institutions by providing:

1. The names of potential assessors to review applications in your field of research;
2. The contact details of suggested assessors (name, institution and valid current email address);
3. Three or four key words to describe their field of research

These should be forwarded to the Research Help Centre via help@nhmrc.gov.au.
