Air date: Monday, January 26, 2015, 11:00:00 AM
Time displayed is Eastern Time, Washington DC Local
Description: The presentation will provide an overview of how the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is reforming the architecture and peer review processes to transform the way investigator initiated research is funded. This includes implementing two new funding schemes and making significant changes to peer review processes including the use of application focused review, structured peer review, remote review and new scoring processes. CIHR is mid-way through their implementation and will provide an overview of the results of the early pilot studies which are showing improved effectiveness as well as reductions in both applicant and reviewer burden. The presentation will also highlight lessons learned to date.
