CIHR’s Engagement Process for the Open and Peer Review Reforms

Discussions with the community have enabled CIHR to:

  • gain a better understanding of the current challenges faced by the research community
  • foster candid discussions about the potential impacts on the proposed design and implementation

CIHR is using the community's feedback to refine our thinking and advance the development of the Open Suite of Programs and Peer Review process.
