This page lists the grant panels that members of CIR sit on. This information is intended to help support colleagues seeking advice when applying for highly competitive fellowships. The following table includes information about who is currently sitting on grant/fellowship panels (and therefore able to advise on what they are looking for), as well as people who have recent past experience (maybe to help with reviewing applications).
