Simplified Peer Review Framework
Proposed at NIH 


Commentary Deadline: March 10, 2023

NIH invites public input on a revised framework for evaluating and scoring peer-review criteria for research-project grant (RPG) applications. The simplified framework will reorganize five major regulatory criteria under three scored categories, and reduce the number of non-score-driving review considerations that reviewers evaluate in judging the scientific merit of RPG applications.

FUNDING & GRANT OPPORTUNITIES

Projected Opportunity: NIH Biomedical Research Facilities (C06)

A new solicitation is anticipated for the limited-submission C06 program, which provides awards of $3-8M over 5 years to improve existing shared research facilities or construct new biomedical research space with long-term regional or national impact.

Early planning is critical due to tight application deadlines. Prospective applicants are strongly advised to review internal guidance (SSO login with @ucsd.edu address) for project selection and scoping, team composition, and program insights.
