"We don't die when the body starts to end. Because what we leave is a message, which is left and this will survive us." - Rita Levi-Montalcini, awarded the Nobel Prize 40 years ago for her discovery of growth factors. She was the longest-living laureate, passing away at the age of 103 years.

Had a UKRI funded grant proposal rejected at the "AI triage stage". "This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review." 🧪 #academicsky

I am writing to let you know that, unfortunately, your application was not successful.

Review process

As part of the initial triage of the 179 proposals submitted to this call, each was assessed using an AI-based review. Every proposal was read independently by several different AI models against the same seven criteria used to shape this call (including cyber security relevance, research quality and novelty, importance of the problem addressed, feasibility of the project plan, likely outputs and impact, value for money, and responsible research practice), with each model asked to give a score and a written justification with supporting quotations from the text. To guard against any one model's idiosyncrasies, we also ran a second, independent process in which different AI models debated the merits and weaknesses of each proposal before reaching a judgement, again against the same criteria. Scores from both processes were combined to produce an overall ranking. 

This AI-based triage was used only to identify approximately 50% of the strongest proposals to take forward to full human review.  Projects selected for funding were drawn from those that progressed to the full human review stage. We recognise that AI-assisted assessment is a new and evolving part of the review process, and we are continuing to evaluate how well it aligns with the judgements of human reviewers on this call. We will soon produce a document detailing our method, so that others can build upon it and improve it.

Feedback on your application

Your application was not selected to progress beyond the AI triage stage.  To provide transparency on the outcome of this assessment, we are sharing below the scores (out of 5) from each of the two AI review processes described above, together with the mean score across the two processes.

New at our institute: Dr. Stefanie Grosswendt (@stefaniegrosswendt.bsky.social) has joined us as Lise Meitner Research Group Leader, bringing her group "Cellular Interactions" from Berlin (BIH @ Charité / MDC) to Münster. Her question: how do cells "talk" to one another to build tissues?

1/5 📢New paper from our group! We are excited to share our latest work, now published in Cell Reports ✨ What's new? Using zebrafish, a non-mammalian vertebrate model, we show that the requirement for TGF-b signaling in microglia development has been maintained throughout vertebrate evolution.

Tgf-β receptor signaling cell-intrinsically controls conserved microglia homeostatic maturation during zebrafish development

In this study, Miserocchi et al. find that Tgf-β receptor signaling is a conserved, cell-intrinsic regulator of microglial differentiation in zebrafish. Disrupting this pathway blocks acquisition and ...
