Conflicts of interest occur where an individual involved in some way with the assessment of a proposal has a personal or organisational relationship with the applicants that call into question their ability to undertake their role in an objective and unbiased way.
- The reviewing process should be double-blinded, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process.
