Members of the International Development Peer Review College contribute to the expert review of overseas development assistance funding opportunities offered by UKRI councils, particularly those funded under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).
There are around 300 members, who are drawn from academic and non-academic backgrounds and serve for three years. At least 90% are from countries eligible to receive overseas development assistance.
The college’s aims are to:
- ensure developing country perspectives are a key part of the expert review of GCRF opportunities and other overseas development assistance research opportunities
- build on GCRF’s aim for fair and equitable partnerships and ensure developing country researchers and non-academics can contribute to decision-making
- help with closer working with expert reviewers from developing countries and provide training and capacity-building in expert review.
