How NIAID Reviews Applications Using Research Animals

<< back · tutorial index · next >>

When assessing the scientific merit of an application, all NIH initial peer review committees use the same review criteria. For information on NIH review criteria, read How NIH Review Criteria Affect Your Score.

Peer reviewers also evaluate your project's compliance with federal requirements for animal research, rating your application based on your responses to the five points in the Vertebrate Animals Section. Any problems may negatively affect your overall impact/priority score.
