Grant Funding Timelines Preserved
If you are a scientist or small business waiting on NIH small-business grants in biobehavioral processes, your funding timeline will not change because the NIH rescheduled the closed review meeting for December 5, 2025 (8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.). NIH says the quick reschedule after a 43-day government shutdown keeps evaluations on track so funding recommendations can be submitted to national advisory councils on time.
Grant Review Closed to Public
The NIH review meeting on December 5, 2025 (8:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m.) will be closed to the public to protect confidential trade secrets, patentable material, and personal information in grant applications. That means the public cannot attend the meeting, and applicants' sensitive commercial and personal information will be kept private during the review.
