Peer review can make or break academic careers. It's even more precarious when its objectivity is threatened by cognitive and social bias linked to gender, affiliation, ethnicity, and affiliation. Suzanne C. Iacono from National Science Foundation (NSF) reveals that only 18% of African-American researchers submitting grant proposals to NFS are successful. National Institutes of Health (NIH) sees a similar pattern - researchers of African descent “receive awards at 55% to 60% the rate of white applicants”. In general women and African-Americans tend to be judged harsher than their white male peers (Kaatz 2014).
