NHMRC Academy
The NHMRC Academy is a prestigious body of eminent researchers that enhances NHMRC's peer review processes by giving independent expert advice to NHMRC's CEO.
NHMRC relies on peer review to judge the relative quality of research proposals competing for funding and this can only occur with the assistance of the researchers who participate on the peer review panels. Good peer review relies on the fact and the perception that it is fair, informed, expert, able to identify quality and generally able to undertake the task without fear or favour.
To maintain a high level of independence and increase the transparency of the peer review process, the NHMRC Academy has been established to assist with these processes.
NHMRC Policy on Payments for Meeting Preparation – 2010
NHMRC pays all committee members sitting fees for their attendance at committee meetings (including Grant Review Panels), in line with the Commonwealth Remuneration Tribunal determinations for Part Time Office Holders (http://www.remtribunal.gov.au/).
This revised policy is consistent with international best practice and the responsibilities of researchers in the NHMRC Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2007).
Call to researchers to participate in peer review in 2010
An invitation remains open to researchers to register as potential NHMRC assessors, to be considered for membership of one of our peer review panels in 2010.
