Simplified Peer Review Framework
Proposed at NIH
Commentary Deadline: March 10, 2023
NIH invites public input on a revised framework for evaluating and scoring peer-review criteria for research-project grant (RPG) applications. The simplified framework will reorganize five major regulatory criteria under three scored categories, and reduce the number of non-score-driving review considerations that reviewers evaluate in judging the scientific merit of RPG applications.
