To put NIH's five review criteria in context, consider the goals of NIH-supported research: to advance understanding of biological systems, improve the control of disease, and enhance health.
Reviewers use the criteria to judge the likelihood that the proposed research will have a substantial impact on achieving these goals.
Peer reviewers consider each criterion when assigning a priority score. However, an application does not need to be strong in all categories to have a major scientific impact and deserve an outstanding priority score.
For example, an investigator may propose important work that is not innovative but is essential to move a field forward.
