2-166 - Mock NIH Application Review and NIH Processes Revealed

Session Type: Federal Agency Session

Integrative Statement

This interactive session will include an overview of grant submission policies, priorities and procedures at NIH and a mock NIH review. Together, the two components of this session will aim to demystify the grant submission process at NIH and equip participants with key information for navigating the process. The session will start with an introductory overview that will provide background on scientific priorities and funding opportunities at several NIH institutes, key issues in grant writing, and key issues in the NIH scientific review process. The overview will include discussion of programs focusing on career development and supports for transitioning into an independent research career, as well as programs to strengthen the diversity of the biomedical workforce. After the introductory panel, a mock NIH application review will enable participants to gain greater understanding of the review process through actually observing mock review sessions structured to illustrate key principles and procedures. During this panel, a Scientific Review Officer (SRO) will give a brief overview of the review process. Several Program Officers acting as peer reviewers will then score and discuss comments on two applications (one research and one fellowship training grant). This panel will conclude with an explanation of the role of the Council in the funding process. Participants from all career levels are welcome.
