Tricco AC, Thomas SM, Antony J, Rios P, Robson R, Pattani R, Ghassemi M, Sullivan S, Selvaratnam I, Tannenbaum C. Strategies to Prevent or Reduce Gender Bias in Peer Review of Research Grants: A Rapid Scoping Review. PloS one. 2017;12(1):e0169718. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0169718
Altmetric:
Bottom Line:
- A paucity of studies evaluating the effectiveness of interventions to address gender bias during the peer review of grants was identified
- Only one study was included, which evaluated gender-blinding of grant applications using an uncontrolled before/after design, and reported no differences in the proportion of successful female grant applicants
Impact:
- Commissioned by the Canadian Institutes for Health Research to inform training modules for peer reviewers
