So what does this mean? Every calculation by CIHR based on rank percentile scoring is heavily affected by the number of common reviewers on a resubmission. I would argue the No # 1 bias issue to address to improve peer-review is to maintain common reviewers (at least 2 of 3) on all resubmissions.
Graham Dellaire@docdellaire.bsky.social · 4w agoDouble jeopardy grant review is a thing. On re-review of a grant at CIHR the success rate goes up when you have more reviewers re-reviewing the sequential resubmission. It rises to 59% success rate if all 3 reviewers re-review a grant vs 21% with no common reviewers. Let that sink in … 🤔

I'm thrilled to share our recent publication “Overlapping representations in the ventral hippocampus support rapid fear memory retrieval” www.nature.com/articles/s41... We asked, what is the moment-to-moment link between HPC spatial representations, memory retrieval, and fear behaviour?
Overlapping representations in the ventral hippocampus support rapid fear memory retrieval - Nature Neuroscience
Fear learning increases the similarity of threatening and neutral context representations in ventral CA1, which may enable faster reinstatement of threat memories, compared to dorsal CA1.
