Inside the NIH Grant Review Process: A Video on Peer Review at NIH.
The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) has produced a video of a mock study section meeting to provide an inside look at how NIH grant applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit. The video shows how outside experts assess applications and how review meetings are conducted to ensure fairness. The video also includes information on what applicants can do to improve the chances their applications will receive a positive review. The CSR also has additional videos to help new NIH grant applicants navigate NIH peer review: What Happens to Your NIH Grant Application and Top 10 Peer Review Q&As for NIH Applicants.
