加拿大卫生研究院评议指派工作特点及启示

The Reviewer Assignment Features of Canadian Institutes of Health Research and Inspiration

当前国家自然科学基金委员会(National Natural Science Fundation of China,NSFC)正积极探索评审机制改革,为在改革中吸收借鉴国外发达国家基金评议指派工作的相关经验,本文整理了加拿大卫生研究院(Canadian Institutes of Health Research,CIHR)评议指派工作的特点,据此对NSFC同行评议改革提出具体的建议措施:一是可以参考CIHR使用的“研究方法”、“研究对象/实验系统”等特色分类方法,调整原有仅按学科分类的单一代码模式,实施多套代码精准分类评议专家;二是可以参考CIHR同行评议院的管理举措,推动同行评议的配套制度落实,在专家库管理的职能外,纳入与完善同行评议专家管理的荣誉会员制度、定期在线培训制度、主动回避制度、定期绩效评估制度等新的业务工作。本文通过深入调研,试图为推动NSFC“建立和完善科学家积极参与的‘负责任、讲信誉、计贡献’的评审机制改革举措”的实施提供决策参考。

Recently,the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC)starts to explore the evaluation mechanism reform.In order to learn relative experience from funding agency of the developed country to improve NSFC’s peer review system,this paper introduces the reviewer assignment features of Canadian Institutes of Health Research(CIHR),and suggests:inspired by CIHR’s expertise descriptor categories of Methods/Approaches and Study Populations/Experimental Systems,NSFC should use multiple classification code systems instead of traditional single classification code system;according to the CIHR’s membership of College of Reviewers,NSFC’s reviewer database should be incorporated with new functions such as membership,online learning and mentoring,active disclosure of conflict of interest,and performance evaluation.Through in-depth research,this paper tries to provide reference for the conduct of the goal“to establish and improve the evaluation mechanism reform measures of‘responsibility,credibility and contribution(RCC)’in which scientists are invited to participate”.
