Peer Review @ NIH
NIH follows a dual review system based on two sequential levels of review for each grant application - an initial peer review and a second-level review by NIH National Advisory Councils. NIH's initial review is performed either by the Center for Scientific Research or an Institute or Center Review Group that reviews and evaluates the scientific merit of research grant applications. The Peer Review module facilitates the initial review of grant applications.
Each review panel is headed by a Scientific Review Administrator (SRA), typically assisted by a Grants Clerk who goes by the title of Extramural Support Assistant or Grants Technical Assistant.
Who can use the module?
The Peer Review module can be accessed via IMPAC II by:
- Scientific Review Administrators, assigned the CM_SRA_ROLE role
- Extramural Support Assistants, assigned the CM_ESA_ROLE role
These roles are assigned by the technical representatives at the Institute or Center. A valid IMPAC II Username and password are needed to log in.
