Want to participate in the NHMRC 2017 Project Grant Review Panels? Nominate Now

Monash University has once again been asked by NHMRC to nominate people to participate in various parts of this year’s review process. There are two call-outs (an Assistant Chair on a GRP and ECRs for Observers) as per below.

1. For ECRs to observe and/or participate in the 2017 Project Grant Review Panels.
The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences is allowed to nominate up to three ECRs to serve as observers for the 2017 Project Grant Review Panels.

Since 2013, NHMRC has invited ECRs to observe GRP meetings providing training opportunities for future leaders of health and medical research. Engagement of ECRs will:
· provide insights into the Project Grants scheme peer review process which could be                   advantageous in their future Project Grants applications;
· provide ECRs with an opportunity to observe the discussion of applications;
· assist NHMRC to expand the pool of potential GRP members for the future.

2. For Assistant Chair in the 2017 Project Grant Review Panels.
The Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences is allowed to nominate one individual to serve as an Assistant Chair for the 2017 Project Grant Review Panels.

Assistant Chairs play an important role in ensuring the peer review process for each project grant application is fair and equitable. In return, the experience provides Assistant Chairs with valuable insights into the Project Grants funding scheme and functions of the peer review process.
