This article examines the assessment of 2004 and 2005 Canadian national scholarship candidates by multidisciplinary subcommittees. First, it shows weak evidence of slight favouritism by evaluators in the same discipline as the candidate. Second, same-discipline evaluator scores predict candidates’ future success (proxied by becoming a university professor 10 years later) better than do different-discipline evaluator scores from the same subcommittee, but not better than different-discipline evaluator scores when there is no same-discipline evaluator on the subcommittee. Third, aggregate scores from subcommittees without same-discipline evaluators do at least as well at predicting success as those with same-discipline evaluators
