What Really Happens in an NIH Study Review

21 Aug What Really Happens in an NIH Study Review

Description

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides many research funding opportunities from their 27 unique institutes and centers. Proposed projects are reviewed through a standard practice. The NIH peer review process assures that applications submitted are examined by scientific experts in a method that is free from inappropriate influences.

During this training, we will delve into the types of study sections that take place, Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs), and who will be reviewing your proposal. We will cover the phases of the review process as well as reporting criteria.

This program will relay some great writing tips from the NIH, review advice from retired study chairs, and provide helpful information that will aid you in filling out your project application.
