Add a scored criterion to grant review that asks how much suffering the proposal addresses and how soon, judged partly by patients, and give it real weight.
Peer review currently scores significance, innovation and approach, which reward novelty and technical elegance. A burden criterion (deaths, DALYs and unmet need in the target population, plausible time to patient impact) is scored separately by a panel that includes trained patient reviewers and carries 20% of the total. The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the US Department of Defense cancer programmes already include consumer reviewers; this makes burden an explicit, weighted term.
