NIH Regional Consultation Meeting on Peer Review

I attended the NIH Regional Consultation Meeting on Peer Review held this Monday in New York City. The meeting was led by Lawrence Tabak and Keith Yamamoto, co-chairs of the Working Group of the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director on NIH Peer Review. The purpose of the meeting was for the advisory committee to solicit the views of the extramural community and other interested stakeholders (damn, I hate that word). Here are my impressions of the meeting.
