All those applying for NIH grants should have a look at their new Simplified Peer Review Framework. Below is a description of the changes, and here is a link to the webinar recording and PowerPoint slides. The recording will be posted shortly. This will change the forms used and the way applications should be written.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is simplifying the framework for the peer review of most Research Project Grant (RPG) applications, effective for due dates on or after January 25, 2025. These changes are designed to address the complexity of the peer review process and mitigate potential bias. Make plans to hear the latest updates, timelines, and how these changes will impact existing and new funding opportunities. A Q&A with NIH experts will follow the presentation to address additional questions.
