Closed grant review meetings in Apr–Jun 2025
The National Cancer Institute will hold multiple closed virtual meetings on April 11; April 16; April 21; May 1-2; May 1; May 9; May 22; June 17-18; and June 26-27, 2025 to review and evaluate grant applications. If you are a researcher who applied for NCI grants, these meetings will determine funding decisions for those applications.
Confidentiality protections for applicants
The meetings will be closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) to protect confidential trade secrets, commercial property (such as patentable material), and personal information of individuals named in grant applications. This keeps applicants' sensitive business and personal information from public disclosure during reviews.
K99/R00 and K01 review dates for early postdocs
If you are an early-stage postdoctoral researcher applying for the NCI Pathway to Independence (K99/R00) or the K01 award, your applications will be reviewed in a closed virtual meeting on May 1-2, 2025. That review will influence whether those career-development awards receive funding.
