ESRC peer review college
We are delighted to announce that the ESRC has now established its new Peer Review College.
Peer review lies at the very heart of the ESRC's operations, and we are fully committed to the principle of peer review for the assessment of proposals to all our schemes and programmes.
The College consists of a group of approximately 1,800 experts, including both UK and overseas academics, and users from private, government and third sector organisations. Peer Review College members will be expected to provide expert quality reviews of proposals within their areas of expertise, which will inform the ESRC's decision making processes. The College will cover the majority of ESRC's schemes, including both directive and responsive mode initiatives. In addition to using members of the new College the ESRC will, of course, continue to draw upon the wider academic and user communities to conduct its peer review process.
