The role of the ESRC Grants Assessment Panels (GAPs) is to assess applications submitted under responsive mode schemes and make funding recommendations to ESRC according to procedures and criteria approved and overseen by the ESRC Committees.
The GAPs are multi-disciplinary bodies comprising 45 to 50 members in total. There are three GAPs organised around clusters of disciplines.
