| APPLICATION AND AWARD PROCESS |
| |
· Award Procedure |
| |
|
Grants and Awards are made on the basis of a dual review of an investigator-prepared application. The reviews are made by peer groups: the first by a study section for scientific merit; the second by an advisory council for program relevance. Final approval of these recommendations and decisions concerning funding are made by the Director, NIEHS. All accepted SBIR/STTR applications are evaluated for scientific and technical merit by an appropriate scientific peer review panel and by a national advisory council or board. All applications receiving a priority score compete for available SBIR/STTR set-aside funds on the basis of scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of the proposed research, program relevance, and program balance among the areas of research. Formal award notices are sent to successful applicants. |
