国家自然科学基金面上项目的遴选标准及其规范化探讨

The Studies on the Criterion for Selecting Grants Based on Peer Review of General Proposals Received by National Natural Science Foundation of China

同行评议的决策机制中,获取同行专家提供的评议意见很重要,管理者如何基于评议意见做出科学决策也同样不可忽视。国家自然科学基金项目管理者面对大量的项目,且每个项目包含有多个同行专家的评议意见,如何汇总项目的评议意见并从众多项目中优中选优开展项目遴选,倘若没有科学且可把握的遴选标准,遴选过程的不规范、不科学必然事实上将对获取的同行专家评议意见打折扣。因此,建立科学、规范的项目遴选标准,减少遴选过程中可能存在的随意性,避免其中人为因素干扰,是确保同行评议制度公正性的重要环节。

Although comments from reviewers are very important in peer review,how to select grants for funding based on reviewerscomments is also indispensable.As making a decision for funding of one proposal,a grant manager needs the help of an appreciable criterion,which is a indicator of reflecting the quality of proposals,in order to pick out grants fairly and conveniently from evaluated proposals.The criterion is a prerequisite for summarizing scientifically comments from different reviewers for one proposal,which help managers to rule out the possibility of unfairness in selecting grants.The quantitative criterion should be a good choice for selecting grants for funding from many evaluated proposals.
