 NIAID will peer review your application. For an overview of the peer review process and to learn about review criteria so you can create a strong application, read Part 8. Assignment and Review.
Address Peer Review Criteria
Peer reviewers will assess your potential based on the information in your CV, research and career plans, and, except for K24, letters of recommendation. Make sure your CV highlights your past successes, and that your research and career plans illustrate your commitment and potential for future contributions. Stress your commitment to a career in biomedical or behavioral research (for a K02, K08, or K22), patient-oriented research (K23 and K24), or integration of biomedicine and quantitative science (K25).
Reviewers will evaluate the institution where the proposed research will be conducted. They'll consider whether your institution has suitable facilities and is committed to your development as an investigator.
For mentored positions, reviewers will assess your mentor's career and research supervision record, and whether his or her work and experience are relevant to your proposed Part 5. Research Plan.
Design Your Research Plan Carefully
Reviewers will look closely at your Research Plan, assessing whether the topic is important and appropriate to your career stage, background, and objectives. They will consider your methods and design, as well as your attention to ethical considerations. You'll need to account for all ethical considerations regarding human subjects, and document your training in the ethical conduct of research.
