Can grant evaluation still distinguish scientific excellence?

2026-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<p>Grant peer review increasingly depends on fine-grained numerical scores to rank many formally excellent proposals. In the era of generative and agentic AI, this architecture may be losing resolution. We analyse score-distribution data from EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowships and show sharp compression of evaluation scores in the 2025 call. Compared to 2024, there was a 64.6% increa...
