Repost: Your Grant In Review: Incomplete Information
June 12, 2008
A comment from dreiken on a recent post asks:
Can anyone provide some context (eg, what’s a study section that’s not in the library?) for us not-yet-researchers?
This reminds me of an email I received some time ago asking for an overview of the NIH system. Which I haven’t done yet. (Although really people, the NIH has a very nice site on the whole process of seeking their funding for your science!)
I thought I’d start with one of my older “Your Grant in Review” posts.
As we are in the middle of study section meetings for NIH grants submitted for the June-July dates and heading toward yet another revised-application due date, I’m thinking about the way amended applications are reviewed. The amount of information available to a given reviewer on the previous history of a particular amended application is variable, leading to much dissatisfaction on the part of the applicants. The system could stand to be improved.
