Calling CANS nurse scientists to serve as NIH reviewers

A significant portion of nursing and biomedical research depends on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for funding, both directly and indirectly (Crotty et al., 2020). NIH funding decisions are made based on the peer review process, and the quality of peer review is a function of the availability of expert reviewers. According to NIH, expert reviewers are experienced investigators who: have substantial independent research experience; have received major peer-reviewed grants (R01 or equivalent); understand the importance of the review process; and are dedicated to high quality, fair review (National Institutes of Health, 2020a).
