Scoring Criteria

The following criteria should be used by all Review College members when asked to score our grant applications.

There are three separate scoring sheets, depending on what type of grant you are reviewing

  • All research grants have the same score sheet (Long-Term Research, Small Research, Pedagogical Research, Synthesis)
  • Outreach grants have their own scoring criteria
  • Connecting Ecologists with other Disciplines have their own scoring criteria

Each member of the Review College will have chosen their relevant areas of expertise from a list of key words covering the breadth of the ecological science we fund, allowing us to link the ecological content of an application to the most appropriate reviewers.

We ask our reviewers to provide a score for the project aims, project design and the candidate. These three scores will then total the Overall Score for the application.

If you would like to find out more details on each of our grant schemes, including their objectives and requirements, please visit the funding homepage.
