The peer review system for grant applications used by the NIH is based
on two sequential levels of review, referred to as the "dual
review system." The first level involves panels of experts
established, according to scientific disciplines or current research
areas, for the primary purpose of evaluating the scientific and
technical merit of grant applications. These panels are generally
referred to as scientific review groups (SRGs) if they review both
grant applications and contract proposals, or as initial review
groups (IRGs) if they review only grant applications. The second
level of review is conducted by the National
Advisory Research Resources Council (NARRC). The NIH
Peer-Review Policy and Issues Web site provides a detailed explanation
of the review process.
See the NCRR Grant Review Schedules for applications to be reviewed by
the National Advisory
Research Resources Council (NARRC). The NARRC is the second
level of review at NCRR.
