Interventions in UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) peer review processes, such as double-anonymisation and funding by partial randomisation, have the potential to counteract bias in research funding decisions that are associated with applicants’ personal characteristics.
This summary analysis draws on the evidence and conclusions found in two separate, more technical, analyses of UKRI review processes, one each for:
- Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) ‘New Horizons’
- Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) ‘Pushing the Frontiers’
