As an organisation we are committed to principles of openness, integrity and transparency and seek to uphold ethical values in all our activities and processes. The BERA College of Reviewers (CoR) provides high quality peer reviews for all relevant BERA activities and ensures a consistent approach across our awards and funding opportunities.
The BERA College of Reviewers is a group comprised of high quality academic reviewers including practitioners and policy makers who draw on research evidence. Members are drawn from a range of organisations and career experience, from Early Career Researchers to senior academics and users. The CoR works closely with BERA’s Engagement Committee who oversee most of our award schemes and ensure criteria fit with BERA’s strategic priorities.
