Abstract

Abstract Applications reviewed by the NIH Center for Scientific Review go through a process that starts with assignment to a review panel and ends with the generation of a priority score and a written evaluation (Summary Statement). This process is overseen by several key players, the most important being the Scientific Review Officer, who is the designated federal official overseeing all aspects of Level 1 review. Their role is to recruit and enlist expert reviewers to evaluate the scientific and technical merit of an application and assess its potential contribution and impact to the relevant research field. The goal of Level 1 review is to ensure that applications are expertly and fairly evaluated in accordance with the NIH policies of rigor, reproducibility, transparency and research integrity. In this presentation, attendees will learn about the how study sections are formed, how reviewers are involved and conduct their evaluations, and the guiding principles that underlie Level 1 review.
