Sen. Faruqi: Will you consider anonymising EOI stage to reduce biases? ARC CEO: Women have higher success rate in 9 of 11 schemes. (So, job done, nothing to see? Gees…) ARC: We *can’t* anonymise because Scheme Objectives include rewarding *teams*, so EOI must include team🫠

I reviewed a grant last year for a european country where the CI (in ARC terms) was named, but the co-CIs and PIs were described but anonymous. A very different sort of read, but very straightforward.
