Abstract:

Difficulties of research evaluation in a small country — Sri Lanka — with a limited pool of scientific expertise has led to peer review process innovations, where an interactive process has emerged. Three differently managed research grant schemes using this are described. The effectiveness of these evaluation techniques depend on the extent to which researchers are involved with reviewers in the process, and on the context in which the research objectives are defined. Outstanding success has been achieved when both conditions were satisfied in a research programme.
