Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali - Peer Reviewing Grant Applications

Dr Kamar Ameen-Ali narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Kam was recently asked to peer review a grant by a major UK research funder. This was not something she had been asked to do before, and it made her realise the sheer number of tasks required of us in academia that we simply get zero training or guidance on. In this blog, Kamar pulls together her experience of grant peer reviewing and provides guidance that will hopefully be helpful to other new reviewers.
