What We Do:
The Scientific Review Branch administers the initial peer review of extramural grant applications and contract proposals solicited by NIDA. These include applications for Research Projects (R01, R21, RM1), Planning grants (R34), Program Projects and Research Centers (P30, P50), Cooperative Agreements (U01, UM1, U19), Research Career Development Awards (K99/R00, K12), Institutional Training Grants (T32), Research Education (R25), Research Resources (R24), Conference Awards (R13), Pioneer Awards (DP1, PD2), SBIR/STTR (R41,R42,R43, R44) applications and Contract proposals (N01).
Key Functions:
- Convene Special Emphasis Panels (SEPs) or NIDA standing study sections for peer-review of applications and contract proposals
- Implement NIH peer review policies
- Participate in the development of Funding Opportunity Announcements
- Conduct grantsmanship/outreach activities for the scientific community
Alert: For due dates on or after Jan 25, 2025 – changes coming to how most research grant applications will be reviewed. Learn about the new simplified review framework.
