3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
NIH fellowship and research reviews
If you applied for a fellowship or research grant, NIH review panels will meet virtually on November 12-13, 2025 to review and evaluate grant applications. These reviews decide who gets funding and can affect your funding timeline and chances.
Small business grant panels in November
If you are a small-business applicant, NIH has multiple 'Small Business' review panels meeting virtually on November 13-14, 2025 (for example: Kidney and Urological Sciences; Innovations for Healthy Living; Musculoskeletal Sciences; Biomedical Sensing). These panels will review and evaluate your grant applications and influence which small businesses receive NIH funding.
Confidentiality of applications preserved
The meetings are closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) to protect confidential trade secrets, patentable material, and personal information in grant applications. That keeps proprietary information and applicants’ personal data private during the review on the listed November 2025 dates.
