Referral Guidelines for Initial Review Groups of NIH: 1995

摘要

This reference book is designed as an internal working guide for the Referral andReview Branch, Division of Research Grants, in the referral of grant applications to NIH study sections and initial review groups (IRGs) for scientific merit review. It consists of three sections: the first contains the study sections of the Division of Research Grants (DRG); the second contains the review committees of the NIH awarding organizations (Institutes and Centers); and the third contains the initial review groups of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). These guidelines form the major basis for the referral of applications to review committees and for the nomination by Scientific Review Administrators (SRAs) of consultants with particular areas of expertise to serve on review committees. A companion volume, Referral Guidelines for Funding Components of PHS, provides information regarding assignment to institutes.
