NIAID follows an automated process to determine the program officer assignment for each new award based primarily on the scientific area of investigator-initiated applications or the funding initiative for which solicited applications were submitted. Working with different program officers across several awards within the same general field of research is not unusual.
Refer to the Program Officials section of NIH’s Understand Staff Roles webpage and our Program Officers SOP to learn more about program officers’ responsibilities.
