The NIH Peer Review Challenge (http://public.csr.nih.gov/Pages/challenge.aspx)

The National Institutes of Health Center for Scientific Review (CSR) is issuing two Challenges for ideas to detect potential bias in peer review and ideas to strengthen reviewer training to enhance impartiality and fairness in the review of grant applications.

A First Prize in the amount of $10,000 and a Second Prize in the amount of $5,000 is offered in each category below.

Challenge 1: New Methods to Detect Bias in Peer Review-Individuals are asked to submit their ideas for strategies to detect possible bias in the NIH peer review process. Submissions can include approaches, strategies, methodologies, and/or measures that would be sensitive to detecting bias among reviewers due to gender, race/ethnicity, institutional affiliation, area of science, and amount of research experience. First Place ($10,000) and Second Place ($5,000) prizes will be awarded in two
categories: best empirically based idea and most creative idea.

Challenge 2: Strategies to Strengthen Fairness and Impartiality in Peer Review-Individuals are asked to submit ideas for reviewer training methods aimed at enhancing fairness and impartiality in NIH peer review. The submission does not require full development of training materials. The ideas, however, should be provided in sufficient detail to assess their ability to address fairness and impartiality in review with regards to gender, race/ethnicity, institutional affiliation, area of science, and amount of research experience. First Place ($10,000) and Second Place ($5,000) prizes will be awarded for the best overall idea.

Submissions: Must be received by June 30, 2014
Winners will be announced September 2, 2014.
