New paper on gender and disciplinary differences in grant proposal peer review published in @plosone.org. We use supervised machine learning to analyse almost 40,000 review reports submitted to the @snsf.ch. @ucddublin.bsky.social summarised the paper in the thread below. ➡️ doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Gender and disciplinary differences in grant proposal peer review: Content and sentiment in 39,280 reports Stefan Müller , Gabriel Okasa, Michaela Strinzel, Anne Jorstad, Katrin Milzow, Matthias Egger Abstract: Peer review by experts is central to the evaluation of grant proposals, but little is known about how gender and disciplinary differences shape the content and tone of grant peer review reports. We analyzed 39,280 review reports submitted to the Swiss National Science Foundation between 2016 and 2023, covering 11,385 proposals for Project Funding across 21 disciplines from the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), Life Sciences (LS), and Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, and Technology (MINT). Using supervised machine learning, we classified over 1.3 million sentences by evaluation criteria and sentiment. Reviews in SSH were significantly longer and more critical, with less focus on the applicant’s track record, while those in MINT were more concise and positive, with a greater focus on the track record, as compared to those in LS. Compared to male reviewers, female reviewers wrote longer reviews that more closely aligned with the evaluation criteria and expressed more positive sentiments. Female applicants tended to receive reviews with slightly more positive sentiment than male applicants. The tone, length, and focus of peer review reports varied systematically by applicant gender and disciplinary context. These differences have important implications for fairness and consistency in research funding.

👩‍🎓📃 Analysis of almost 40,000 review reports for research funding reveals that female researchers provide longer, more positive assessments than their male counterparts and cover the formal evaluation criteria more comprehensively. 🧵 @stefanmueller.bsky.social @ucdpolitics.bsky.social

Intl. students, including PhDs, must finish degrees in 4 years. The only assurance from DHS in new rule is the right to file an extension. NFAP’s Mark Regets asks, “How is that a genuine assurance? Why take a chance on a US education?” @mclem.org @adamposen.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

New RTÉ Brainstorm Article by Dr Stefan Müller: Does an interest in Gaelic games predict how you will vote? "Income levels, education and gender may not predict an interest in the GAA, but it's different with voting intentions and left-right positions" ⬇️Further Analysis & Full Article ⬇️

Article on RTÉ Brainstorm with @liamkne.bsky.social ahead of the All-Ireland Finals: we find that GAA interest cuts across income, education and gender, but not politics: Fianna Fáil voters are keenest, left-wing voters least interested. ➡️ www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2... @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social
