Urgent NIH grant review set for Dec 18
The NIH Center for Scientific Review will hold a virtual closed meeting on December 18, 2025 to review and evaluate grant applications for fellowships in cardiovascular and respiratory research. This meeting was rescheduled after a 43-day government shutdown and is urgent so evaluations can be sent to national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.
Grant review closed to protect applicants' privacy
The meeting will be closed to the public under sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) of Title 5, U.S.C., because grant discussions could reveal confidential trade secrets, patentable material, or personal information. Applicants’ confidential and personal information will be kept out of public records during the review.
