These meetings keep sensitive info private to protect personal and commercial secrets. Researchers and organizations applying for grants should note these dates as they impact funding decisions but don’t involve new money changes.

Closed Reviews Protect Applicant Secrets
The NIH Center for Scientific Review will hold several closed virtual meetings on June 17-18, 2025. The meetings are closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and (c)(6) to protect confidential trade secrets, patentable material, and personal information in grant applications, so discussions are not open to the public.
Multiple Panels Reviewing Grants June 17-18
Multiple NIH review panels will review and evaluate grant applications in virtual meetings on June 17-18, 2025. Panels listed include imaging and bioengineering for visual systems; HIV and substance use; cancer biology and P50 SPOREs in human cancer; macromolecular structure and function; institutional training and education; and adolescent social media and mental health — applicants for those grants should note these dates because the panels' reviews are part of the funding decision process, and the notice does not announce any changes to funding amounts.
