Two Strikes And You're Out Grant Applicants Learn

摘要

Taking some by surprise, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced last week that scientists applying for grants will get only one chance to resubmit a rejected proposal. The current policy, which allows two revisions, bogged down the review process and forced investigators to wait in line for funding, NIH says. Giving applicants just one more try should fund the best science sooner. The change is in response to an advisory panel that identified problems in peer review earlier this year.
