The National Centre’s first grants round peer assessment process

Applications for the National Centre’s first competitive research grants round will open on the 21st of October 2022.
All grants will be awarded based on merit, using a rigorous, ethical and transparent process. Applications will be peer assessed by independent multi-disciplinary peer assessment panel(s) that include researchers, policymakers, practitioners or service managers, and people with lived or living experience of child sexual abuse.
Applications will be assessed against pre-determined selection criteria, using a National Centre peer assessment form, followed by a panel review within an online meeting with other panel members.
A ‘Peer Assessment of Grant Applications Guide’, containing further information regarding the peer assessment process is available here.
