After much consideration, the National Health and Medical Research Council rolled out a new grant system a year or so back (CMM May 26 2017). And 12-months on, the consultations continue, with a new report released on research-community discussions of peer review. This new document is typical of the whole process, respectfully reporting cavils and constructive ideas alike. In medical research, it appears hard to please anybody any of the time but the way the new policy was created and then communicated is high art in policy making and explaining.
