Dr. Roberto Sassi Recognized as an Outstanding Reviewer by CIHR and College of Reviewers

The Department commends Associate Professor (Partner) and CAP Division Head Dr. Roberto Sassi on his recognition by CIHR and the College of Reviewers as an Outstanding Reviewer who has made exemplary contributions to the peer review process.

This recognition is based on observations and feedback from Committee Chairs, Scientific Officers and CIHR staff during the Review Quality Assurance (RQA) process, which captures contributions that exemplify the very best of peer reviewers. Dr. Sassi is among those recognized who have volunteered to take on additional tasks on short notice, participated constructively in discussion of applications – including those to which they have not been assigned, and whose reviews have gone above and beyond expectations.

CIHR and the College of Reviewers have noted Dr. Sassi’s generosity in volunteering his time and expertise, his commitment to excellence and raising the standard in peer review, and his overall leadership by example. His achievement will be included in the College of Reviewer’s Institution Activity Report to be sent to the UBC Office of the Vice-President, Research in Fall 2023.

Congratulations to Dr. Sassi on this outstanding recognition!
