Science would be so much better if we did review (of grants and papers) constructively and collaboratively, instead of only using them to produce binary accept/reject decisions. To do that, we have to separate review processes from decisions. One idea for grants 👇

@neuralreckoning Sounds hard in practice. Canadian ERB was meant to be like that, but in practice, many ERB members see themselves as gatekeepers. The ones that actually work are the ones where the ERB members are selected and paid, rather than volunteers. But that’s another can of worms.

@locha you can solve that problem by formally separating decision making, doing that before the constructive peer review stage. No gatekeeping possible then.
