Abstract
- This article describes an Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) initiative to enhance the review process for its training awards using a new tool based on the ProGrid® decision-assist software. Changes that the AHFMR made are analyzed, as is the manner in which the review system was developed and refined, the initial assessment of the value added for applicants, reviewers, and the funding decision-maker, and the implications of this approach for the future. Implementation of the new tool resulted in a number of modifications to the AHFMR's review process in the areas of definition, rationality, fairness, timeliness, and responsiveness. The new process also provides the foundation with increased capacity for performance measurement and program evaluation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
