Between November 2023 and July 2024, I interviewed over 150 former peer reviewers from the CIHR Project, NFRF Explorations, NSERC Discovery, and SSHRC Insight and Insight Development competitions. This webinar shares peer reviewers’ perspectives on reading, scoring, and discussing grant applications, and provides advice to grant editors based on peer reviewers’ unwritten rules.
