Summary
The NIH’s Center for Scientific Review is holding several closed virtual meetings in April 2025 to review and decide on grant applications. These meetings protect private info and trade secrets, so only invited experts can join. Researchers applying for grants should note these dates as they impact funding decisions but don’t involve public attendance or extra costs.

NIH Grant Review Meetings Closed To Public
The NIH Center for Scientific Review will hold multiple virtual meetings to review and evaluate grant applications on specific dates between April 10, 2025 and May 2, 2025. These meetings are closed to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6), so members of the public and applicants cannot attend while panels make funding decisions.
Confidentiality Protections for Grant Materials
NIH states that grant applications reviewed in these meetings may contain confidential trade secrets, commercial property (like patentable material), and personal information, and discussions will be closed to protect that information. If you submit an application, the process explicitly protects your proprietary and personal data during the review panels held in April–May 2025.
