Evolution of the HR Excellence in Research (HREiR) Award

Following feedback collected from institutional awardees and HREiR peer reviewers about the process in the UK, Vitae launched a specific consultation in 2022 on the future evolution of the HREiR Award.

Read the HR Excellence in Research Award_Future of the UK Process document that provides fuller context including the background, rationale and transition stages of the proposed evolution.

Representatives of HREiR awardees were asked

‘Do you agree with extending the HREiR review process from a two-year cycle to a three-year cycle (after the initial application and two-year review) with external peer review each time?’

As you can see by the image to the right the majority was yes therefore all cohorts of HREiR awardees moved to a cycle of external peer reviews every three years.
