Abstract
Abstract What happens to applications on meeting day? What do study section members discuss? Review of applications are evaluated for their scientific and technical merit, and this is reflected in the reviewers’ written assessment of the project’s overall impact. In addition, reviewers score five core criteria and additional review criteria as defined in the funding opportunity announcement. The panel’s initial assessment determines which applications will be discussed in full at the meeting. For each that is discussed, reviewers briefly present the strengths and weaknesses of the application and discuss the factors that inform their overall assessment. At the end of the discussion, a final impact score is given by all eligible members of the panel, which is reported on the summary statement. Every application undergoes a similar process that ensures that fair and consistent consideration is applied to all applications. At the end of the presentation, attendees will learn how the foundation and pillars of the NIH peer review process are put into practice through scoring, discussion, and potential impact on the field.
