Arête Dual-Anonymous Peer Review

Arête Glacier Initiative uses a Dual-Anonymous Peer Review (DAPR) process to evaluate grant proposals. Under DAPR, applicants do not know the identities of reviewers, and reviewers are not informed of the identities of applicants. This approach is designed to reduce the influence of cognitive bias and to ensure a fair, objective, and merit-focused review process.

Please refer to the guidelines on our Grant page or under the specific RFP before submitting your application.
