Reviewing The Reviewers
By Jim Austin
from Science, 5 September 2014: Volume 345 No. 6201, p. 1206
In On My Mind: Grantsmanship and The Key Role of Reviewers (below) I concluded with the following note: "No amount of grantsmanship will turn a a bad idea into a fundable one...but there are many outstanding ideas that are masked by poor grantsmanship." The article by Jim Austin adds yet another dimension to the assessment of grant applications...gender....and in so doing adds another potential factor to the peer review of NIH applications.
