Staying Grounded
When you review NIH grant applications:
• Your goal is to perform thorough and fair evaluations of their scientific and technical merit
• Your focus should be on overall impact: Will the research have a sustained, powerful effect on the research field involved?

Getting Started
• Don’t be overwhelmed by the number of applications.
• Get started right away to see if you have a conflict with an application.
• Remember you are not alone and you were asked to review because of your expertise.

Writing Your Reviews

Writing Your Reviews
• Don’t just express your opinions. Explain them.
• Don’t try to rewrite an application.

• Keep your reviews and scores in sync.
