| APPLICATION AND AWARD PROCESS |
| |
· Award Procedure |
| |
|
All accepted applications for project grants and institutional National Research Service Awards are reviewed for scientific merit by an appropriate initial review group and by the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR). (Individual NRSA applications are not reviewed by council.) All approved applications compete for available funds on the basis of scientific merit and program emphasis. Awards are issued throughout the year. 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 ranging from the best (100) to worst (500) compete for the available SBIR/STTR set-aside funds on the basis of scientific and technical merit (which includes the potential of the proposed research for commercial application), program relevance, and program balance among the areas of research. |
