Closed NIH Grant Review Meeting
If you have a biomedical research grant application to the NIH, the Center for Scientific Review will hold a closed virtual meeting on December 11, 2025, from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to review and evaluate grant applications. The meeting will be closed to the public because discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information.
43-Day Shutdown Caused Scheduling Catch-Up
The December 11, 2025 meeting was canceled earlier because of a 43-day government shutdown and is being held urgently to catch up. The notice was published less than 15 days before the meeting so evaluations of biomedical research applications can be submitted to national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.
