Why Has NIH Been So Successful?
Peer Review
• Focus is on funding ideas not institutions.
• Ideas spring from local researchers.
• Researchers must compete – like entrepreneurs – for funding.
• Scientific experts do the judging.
• Institutions receive funds only when their scientists submit successful applications.
• NIH program and review staff are separated.
• Scientists manage the peer review process.

Review Process for a Research Grant
• Receives all NIH applications
• Refers them to NIH Institutes/Centers and to scientific review groups
• Reviews for scientific merit about 70% of all NIH applications
The Center for Scientific Review
The Gateway for NIH Grant Applications
CSR Peer Review – Fiscal Year 2013
• 84,000 applications received
• 17,000 reviewers
• 236 Scientific Review Officers
• 1,500 review meetings
