Peer Review - The Application Form

Application is no longer necessary to start a Peer Review project. The original web page has been archived, but provides useful details on how you might like to structire a Peer Review project.


Guidelines on setting up a Peer Review project

  • List the topics to be reviewed. It is better to concentrate on a smaller number of topics and look at them in some depth rather than try and cover a large number of topics in a limited time.
  • For each topic include details of the number of meetings that will take place and an estimate of the length of time this will involve.
  • Make a list of the source material you will be using as a basis for your discussions.
