 NIH
staff play different roles at each step of the way. If you
have questions about meeting human subjects requirements before
you send in your application, talk
to program staff.
After submitting your application,
or anytime before it's reviewed, talk to peer review staff, either
in our Scientific Review Program or in NIH's Center for Scientific Review, depending
where the application is being reviewed.
For more information about peer review staff, read their section of Contact Staff for Help.
After peer review, your program officer serves as your main contact for all issues related to
human subjects. He or she confirms the involvement of human subjects
and looks at potential risks and proposed protection measures.
If
the review group has identified a human subjects concern, contact
your program officer to see what should be done. He or she will
advise you what documentation is needed for NIH approval.
Before issuing a grant, NIAID's grants management staff make sure that your institution has filed an OHRP assurance and that we've received IRB certification and other required documentation. Call grants management staff for any business-type questions about your grant before or after you get your award. To find contact information for program and grants management staff, see Stay in Contact With Your Program Officer.
Our Web site's staff contact list has contact information for review, grants, contracts, and program staff, as well as a general discussion of roles; see Contact Staff for Help and When to Contact an NIAID Program Officer.
