This survey is part of a research study conducted by David Danks, Denise Caruso, and Liam Bright at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and is funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation.
The purpose of the research is to better understand the attitudes and expectations of researchers, proposers, reviewers and review panelists about peer review for interdisciplinary grant and project proposals. We are principally focused on individuals who have interacted with U.S.-based funding agencies or foundations, NGOs, etc., though anyone may participate in the survey.
