CSR offers a new photo exhibit and video of NIH study section

To show investigators who have never served as reviewers what happens at a study section meeting, the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) produced an exhibit entitled "Images of Peer Review." The photos show reviewers in action, studying and debating the applications. The exhibit is available on the CSR web site by clicking on the "Images of Peer Review" link under the What's New section at http://www.csr.nih.gov/

CSR also has produced a video of a mock study section meeting to provide an inside look at how NIH grant applications are reviewed for scientific and technical merit. The video shows how outside experts assess applications and how review meetings are conducted to ensure fairness. It also includes information on what applicants can do to improve the chances their applications will receive a positive review. To view the video, go to: http://www.csr.nih.gov/Video/Video.asp. A list of useful web site links to information about the NIH grants program and the peer review process also is available at this link.
