Receipt and Referral
The Division of Receipt and Referral (DRR) within the Center for Scientific
Review (CSR) serves as the central receiving point for all competing
applications, whether solicited or unsolicited. Upon receipt of a competing
application, DRR:
- Checks for completeness
- Determines
area of research
- Assigns application to specific NIH Institute
or Center for possible funding
- Assigns an identification
number
- Assigns application to a Review
Group
Applications are assigned to a specific study section, also
known as a Scientific Review Group (SRG) or review committee, within the IRG that
has the expertise to evaluate the scientific and technical merit:
- CSR reviews most R01s, fellowships, and small business applications and some PAs, PARs, & RFA’s
- IC
review groups handle applications that have Institute-specific
features such as program projects, training grants, career development
awards, and responses to Requests for Applications.
(For more
information on the Receipt and Referral process, see CSR:
Submission and Assignment Process)
For questions on the assignment of a
study section, contact the Scientific Review Officer (SRO) whose contact information may be found
in your eRA Commons account, or the CSR referral office at 301-435-0715. Questions on the IC assignment should be directed to CSR at the number noted above.
