  1. Peer review in public service science Henrik Kreiberg DFO Science Branch Pacific Biological Station, Nanaimo BC

  2. Overview • Ensuring ◊◊ independent ◊◊ expert ◊◊ scientific merit ◊◊ review: • The challenge is in “ensuring” • The science is intrinsically the same • Two “Uber-Issues” (options)

  3. Uber-issue #1: organizational mass • Multiple sites, geographic separation, little inter-site linkage or common culture at the hands-on level • Zoom-out factor – omnibus science vehicles, prior reviews not likely to uncover detail • Project-morphing – activities developed after major approvals

  4. Uber-issue #2: lack of a peer-review culture • First-date factor • Selling to disinclined: a priori vs a posteriori • “But – we’re the good guys” • Time squeezes for peer-reviews for ACC • Spoiler-image • Senior administrators and the good old days

  5. ACC toolbox • Work with investigators • Fair notice (sr. admin., AUPs, website) • Ask good questions – “Was this proposal peer-reviewed?” “Yes.” • Be prepared – process, dispute-settlement, resources (cohort option)

  6. ACC toolbox • Seek efficiencies - generics, SOPs, renewals • Transparency – no trap-doors • Consistency – take/protect high ground, avoid firefights • Reach out - fellow ACCs, collaborating agencies, ACC Coordinators’ network

  7. Final word • Respect the mandate
