The Executive Committee (EC) has endorsed the
integrated program and timeframe proposed by the Strategy Development
and Implementation Committee (SDIC) for improvement in the organization
and management of the Union's scientific activities. As proposed by the
SDIC, several aspects of this program must be developed in more detail
in order that the EC can present for Bureau approval in September, 1998
a comprehensive plan for implementing the program.
The EC has appointed an ad hoc Committee on Project Evaluation
Criteria (CPEC) to advise the EC and the Bureau on criteria for the
evaluation of project proposals; on mechanisms for approval of such proposals
and allocation of resources; and on criteria for retrospective assessment
of the outcomes of projects.
The CPEC membership is comprised of Elected Members of the Bureau and Division
Officers, whose collective experience will insure that the perspectives
and needs of the Divisions are addressed along with the requirements of
a project-based system. Membership of the CPEC follows:
- Prof. Gus Somsen (chairman), Elected Member of
Bureau
- Prof. John Corish, President, Inorganic Chemistry
Division
- Prof. Folke Ingman, President, Analytical Chemistry
Division
- Prof. Werner Klein, Vice-President, Division
of Chemistry & the Environment
- Dr. Edwin Przybylowicz, Elected Member of Bureau
- Prof. Pieter Steyn, Elected Member of Bureau
- Dr. John W. Jost (staff support), Executive Director,
IUPAC
The CPEC is charged as follows:
1. Recommend procedures and assessment criteria, as outlined in
the SDIC report, for evaluation of project proposals by IUPAC and non-IUPAC
reviewers
- at the Division level
- centrally within IUPAC
- for external funding
2. Recommend
a mechanism for reviewing applications for central funding of projects
and allocation of resources, within the guidelines proposed in the SDIC
report.
3. Recommend criteria and procedures for retrospective evaluation
of projects to assess their success and impact, along lines proposed in
the report by the SDIC.
4. Provide a report to the EC encompassing the above recommendations
by August 15, 1998.
