Reprieve Granted on Grants

摘要

The National Health Council (NHC) is on the prowl for $250,000 to fund a proposed database of rejected National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants. Under the plan, developed by NHC, a consortium of medical corporations and nonprofits based in Washington, D.C., investigators would submit the title, abstract, and other information from their rejected NIH proposals to a searchable database. Jo Anne Goodnight of NIH's Office of Extramural Research says the database would allow smaller organizations to leverage the NI H peer-review process.
