What's New in Peer Review
-
NIH's Center for Scientific Review (CSR) maintains data on impact scores for R01 grant applications given by each permanent study section managed by CSR. These data form the basis for calculating percentile rankings for certain meetings and application types, and the percentile bases are recalibrated occasionally. Currently, CSR is adjusting the percentile bases for a number of permanent study sections and Special Emphasis Panels (SEPs). On March 8, 2013, for applications that are reviewed in SEPs this round and should be percentiled:
- a percentile ranking will be assigned, calculated from the new percentile base,
- revised summary statements will be issued for those applications missing percentile scores, and
- the percentile ranking will appear in the Principal Investigator's eRA Commons account.
