Closed virtual grant review meetings
If you are a researcher or small business applying for NIH grants, the Center for Scientific Review will hold closed virtual meetings on July 17-18, 2025 to review and evaluate grant applications. These sessions determine funding decisions for multiple panels (see listed dates and times).
Confidentiality for applicants' trade secrets
The meetings are closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and (c)(6) because grant applications could disclose confidential trade secrets, commercial property (like patentable material), or personal information. This means applicant trade secrets and personal data will be protected during the July 2025 review meetings.
Small-business panel review on July 17-18
If you are a small business working in biological chemistry, biophysics, or assay development, the Center for Scientific Review listed a Special Emphasis Panel for Small Business: Biological Chemistry, Biophysics, and Assay Development on July 17-18, 2025 to review grant applications. That panel’s review may affect your grant funding decisions.
