Modified application submission, referral and review for appointed NIH study section members
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a modified application submission, referral and review for appointed NIH study section members effective Feb. 5, 2008. This alternate process is limited to 1) appointed members of chartered standing Study Sections and 2) applications that would normally be received on standard submission dates (but not special receipt dates). This continuous submission process will enable appointed members of chartered NIH Study Sections to submit their applications as soon as they are fully developed. The applications will be reviewed no later than 120 days after receipt. NIH plans to analyze this opportunity on an ongoing basis in order to assess feasibility and satisfaction. Significant restrictions apply.
Please see the full announcement for details, or seek the Frequently Asked Questions.
