Abstract: This paper reports on a survey of UK members of the Institute of Physics selected on the basis of an expected research association to the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) during the years 1995 and 1996. The survey assesses the EPSRC's ‘college’ system for research evaluation from the perspective of members of the EPSRC's colleges and from those researchers who have only seen the system from the outside. Insights into the workings of a college-based peer-review system are gained, particularly in regard to referee expertise and the most effective provision of information to prioritisation committees who must award or decline applications formally based on referee opinion of an applicant's submission.
