Designing for the Future: The New Open Suite of Programs and Peer Review Process – Questions and Answers - Next Steps

1. What are the next steps in the implementation of the reforms?

CIHR's next steps towards implementing the reforms include:

  • Developing and implementing pilots to assess aspects of the design in order to evaluate the changes to the peer review process.
  • Develop a comprehensive training approach for applicants, peer reviewers and institutions.
  • Visiting institutions across the country beginning in late January 2013 to continue the discussions on the reforms with the research community. The proposed format of the visit will include a meeting with senior administration staff followed by a town hall forum open to researchers from across CIHR's mandate.
