Funding Peer Review College

(FPRC)

The University has established a Funding Peer Review College (FPRC) to support colleagues with their research proposals to key strategic funders.  Peer review is an essential element of developing an application for research funding to research councils and the process to adhere to is found here.

Peer review also promotes and supports a vibrant and collaborative research environment. The FPRC will offer colleagues the opportunity to develop new skills, hone critical thinking, formulate feedback directed to peers and gain insights into funder priorities and strategies. Membership of the FPRC will be a recognised development and performance activity.

Members of the FPRC will be invited to interactive workshops to enhance their understanding of peer review, develop skills and build confidence. Less experienced reviewers will also have the opportunity to be mentored by more experienced reviewers.

Membership of the FPRC is open to academic staff across all disciplines and career stages, as well as professional services staff.  Membership is on a voluntary basis and will require an element of time commitment to review proposals. Reviewers will be matched to funding proposals according to their expertise, knowledge and/or success with a particular funder.
