Application Review

The NIH peer review system for grant applications is federally regulated—see 42 CFR Part 52h (67KB PDF, requires free Acrobat Readerexternal link, opens in new window)—and is based on two sequential levels of review, referred to as the "dual review system." The first level of review is conducted by panels of expert consultants established according to scientific disciplines, current research areas, or other appropriate expertise as needed. The primary purpose of a peer review panel is to evaluate the scientific and technical merit of grant applications. The second level of review is conducted by National Advisory Boards or Councils composed of both scientific and lay representatives. At NCRR, this second level of review is performed by the National Advisory Research Resources Council. For a detailed explanation of the NIH review process, see the NIH OER: Peer-Review Policy and Issuesexternal link, opens in new window Web page.

Your appeal should be received for consideration by the NCRR at least 10 working days before the meeting at which your proposal will be reviewed. This procedure is described in NIH Guide notice 97-232external link, opens in new window, Appeals of Initial Scientific Peer Review.
