HOW DOES PEER EVALUATION WORK?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The principle of peer evaluation is the foundation of the artsnb jury system. In a nutshell, here is how the grant assessment process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications submitted to artsnb grant programs are first screened by artsnb staff to verify completeness and eligibility. Eligible applications are then evaluated by a peer jury of professional artists. For each competition, artsnb Program Officers, in consultation with the Executive Director, select the jury members from the master list of approved jurors. Juries may be disciplinary or multidisciplinary, depending on the needs and characteristics of the grant program concerned. The composition of the juries strives to ensure fair representation of the disciplines, regions, languages and identities of the applicants who have submitted an application to the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jury meetings are confidential. Jurors may not divulge the contents of an application, the identities or comments of individual jurors, or marks assigned to any application, outside of the jury meeting. artsnb encourages applicants to view the evaluation rubric<\/a> that is used by jury members so that they understand better how their application is evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A general summary of juror feedback for each evaluation is recorded in writing by artsnb staff during the jury meeting. Applicants are invited to view the feedback from the peer jury<\/a> after artsnb releases evaluation results. Juror identities remain confidential until artsnb publishes its annual report containing an undifferentiated list of all individuals who participated on any jury during the fiscal year. The report does not disclose which jurors participated in the evaluation of a given competition. Typically, a juror cannot serve on a jury for the same program more than once within a two-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jurors are paid an honorarium for their participation in the jury meeting, as well as a reading fee per application evaluated. Jury meetings take place online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
