Urgent Dec. 3 Small-Biz Grant Review
If you applied for an NIH small-business grant in hematology or cardiovascular research, your application will be reviewed in a closed virtual meeting on December 3, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The meeting was delayed by a 43-day government shutdown and is happening urgently so evaluations can be submitted to the national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.
Closed Review to Protect Confidential Information
The meeting will be closed to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) to protect grant applications that could disclose confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information. This safeguards applicants' proprietary and private information during the December 3, 2025 virtual review.
