NIH Reveals Grantmaking Process
The National Institutes of Health’s (NIH’s) Center for Scientific Review (CSR) released a new video showing applicants how NIH assesses the over 80,000 grant applications it receives each year. NIH says the majority of its $31 billion budget goes to research grants to support significant advances in science and health. See the NIH Peer Review Revealed video.
CSR also released a companion video, NIH Tips for Applicants, in which reviewers and NIH staff members featured in the NIH Peer Review Revealed video provide advice to new applicants. Both videos incorporate many of the recent enhancements to the NIH peer review and grants systems. They replace a similar CSR video that NIH says has been viewed by thousands online.
