Scientific Review Group
The first review of the application is done by a peer review panel
to objectively evaluate the scientific worth of the application
in the context of current knowledge. Members of the SRG are selected
from active and productive researchers in the scientific community
and are chosen with special emphasis on the personal qualities of
objectivity, ethics, integrity, mature judgement, and the ability
to work as a member of a team. SRG members are nominated by other
scientists and members of the funding institute's staff. IRGs meet
for 2 to 3 days, 3 times a year, and review many applications per
session. Individual members of the SRG are also responsible for
a preliminary review of applications to determine whether they should
be considered at the group meeting. There are usually 12 members
in each SRG study section. The
membership list of standing IRGs can be found online.
