NIH closed grant review meetings June 4–6
The NIH Center for Scientific Review will hold multiple closed virtual meetings on June 4, June 5, and June 6, 2025 to review and evaluate research grant applications. If you are a researcher applying for NIH grants in health or science fields, these meetings directly affect which projects get funding.
Confidentiality protections for grant 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 (like patentable material), and personal information. This means applicants' private and proprietary information discussed during the June 4–6, 2025 meetings is shielded from public disclosure.
