Internal HSC-Wide Study Section for Pre-review of Proposals
As part of our effort to support PIs we have established an internal HSC wide study section for pre-review of proposals. Two panels of senior reviewers have been identified that include faculty with significant funding records and service on NIH study sections. Our goal is to provide constructive feedback in a timely manner to support increased competitiveness of applications. Pre-review has become a requirement for PIs accepting bridge funding from the Office of Research and Graduate Education, but this service remains otherwise optional. Faculty are strongly encouraged to participate.
