The MRC also has a Board and Panel Observers scheme which has been running for a while www.ukri.org/what-we-do/d...

Observing a funding panel - or serving on one - is a hugely rewarding and eye-opening experience. It can't help but improve how you write grant applications, for that funde or any other. I've written about my experience here:

Now had the chance to read this @wellcometrust.bsky.social opportunity to observe a shortlisting committee properly, and I think it's a brilliant idea. Chapeau to everyone involved. It's an elegant way to address a longstanding issue... (1)

This is a great initiative!
