Grant Reviews Closed to Public
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences will hold a virtual, closed meeting on April 2-3, 2025 (10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) to review and evaluate grant applications. The meeting is closed to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and (c)(6), so outside observers cannot attend while funding decisions are discussed.
Applicant Trade Secrets and Privacy Protected
The meeting will be closed because grant applications and discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information. This keeps applicants' proprietary ideas and personal data private during the review of chemical countermeasure grant applications.
