New Podcast on NIH Advisory Councils: Understanding What Happens During the Second Round of Peer Review

Have you ever wondered why your grant application must undergo a separate round of peer review—even after a panel of experts initially weighed in on its scientific merit and provided a score to consider when making funding decisions? A new All About Grants podcast delves more into the second round of peer review at NIH (MP3 / Transcript). Dr. Sally Amero, NIH’s Review Policy Officer with the NIH Office of Extramural Research, and Dr. Rebekah Rasooly, a Branch Chief in program with the National Institute of Nursing Research, will discuss the role and functions of these advisory councils. Listeners will hear about who makes up these groups, what they are tasked with reviewing, their general decision-making processes, and how their recommendations are considered at the funding NIH Institute or Center.
