Kudos to the Volkswagen Foundation for experimenting with a new kind of for evaluating proposals.

I have no opinion (right now) on the new method. I just want to applaud the experiment. The foundation is using its old and new methods side by side for a time and plans to compare the results.

More orgs that evaluate research (, , , agencies) should open up to this kind of experiment.

@petersuber it certainly will be interesting to see how this will go. Thinking of how competitive scientists are, I suspect reviews will be devastating... on the other hand it would be interesting if this worked well.

(and I also applaud)
