CIHR currently recognizes all peer review participants for their contributions with a thank-you letter. As our recognition strategy evolves, CIHR also implemented a threshold to recognize Outstanding performance, based on reviewers receiving multiple flags from multiple executives and the provision of a rationale. The CIHR College of Reviewers will send letters of recognition to outstanding reviewers acknowledging their performance in one or more categories.
12.9% of spring 2021 Project competition peer reviewers were recognized as outstanding reviewers and will receive an additional letter of recognition.
