Overall Assessment - MRC – Specific
Reviewer Scoring
Please provide a score (1-6) which will be taken into consideration by the Board/Panel and will be used to shortlist proposals. The overall score should reflect the comments provided in the other sections of the Je-S document.
Score Criteria:
Score 1 -Poor quality
Score 2 -Good quality
Score 3 -High quality
Score 4 -Very high quality - Internationally competitive in parts
Score 5 -Excellent - Internationally competitive and leading edge nationally, or of national strategic importance
Score 6 -Exceptional - Top international programme, or of exceptional national strategic importance
Each score is split into four components that Reviewers are asked to consider when assessing applications.
These are:
Scientific quality
Scientific leadership
Justification of resources
Other: principally ethical and governance issues
The definitions associated with each score are intended to give a 'flavour' of the quality of the application that would fall into each score. Applications do not need to fulfil every criterion but the overall score should reflect the sense of the definition attached to it.
