Request Received 1 October 2020
I would like information pertaining to:
1. The way in which assessors are selected and their expertise/credentials to review applications are vetted
2. How they are assigned to applications
3. The way in which assessors are briefed in relation to funding calls, as well as specifically in relation to the SIF SBRI call
4. How their assessments (across all calls) are checked for accuracy (both in relation to assessment against the scope of the call, as well as in relation to their assessment of a particular issue within an application) and how within a particular call those assessments are checked
5. How assessments within a call are moderated between sectors (recognising that assessors for any 2 particular applications may vary completely)
6. How assessments between calls and sectors are moderated
7. The legal structure under which the funding is awarded and the obligations under which Innovate UK awards that funding (e.g. obligations for accuracy, etc.)
8. The framework under which the SIF SBRI competition is held, the guidance given to assessors and the way in which the assessments are conducted and normalised across sectors, the way in which the core team ensures that the assessments are in accordance with the scope of the call.
I'm looking for information, reports, guidance, briefings, processes, that are associated with preventing and correcting errors within the assessment process.
Of particular interest is the way in which assessments are checked to verify they are conducted in accordance with the scope of the call.

Request Received: 24 November 2020
I am seeking information as to the process and procedures and specifically the criteria applied by the Henry Royce Institute (https://www.royce.ac.uk) to select or determine the members of the advisory panel convened to create the document M4ET Caloric Energy Conversion Materials.
https://www.royce.ac.uk/content/uploads/2020/10/M4ET-Caloric-Energy-Conversion-Materials-roadmap.pdf
I am really seeking to understand the criteria used to select industrial partners, and how this managed to get reduced to one single micro-company out of the many other possibilities, and to better understand how this situation could have arisen.
The individuals involved in the selection process will likely include:
• Dr Xavier Moya, University of Cambridge (lead author)
• Professor Neil Alford, Imperial College London / Henry Royce Institute (representative of the Royce on the panel).
This will have been in process prior to March 20, 2020 (the date of the first advisory panel meeting) likely covering the period up to 9 months prior to this date.
