Urgent Rescheduling of NIH Grant Review
The NIH review meeting for infectious disease grant applications is being held urgently on December 18-19, 2025 after a 43-day government shutdown delayed it. The meeting was published less than 15 days before the date so evaluations can be submitted to national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.
Closed Meeting Protects Applicant Confidentiality
The December 18-19, 2025 NIH review meeting will be closed to the public because discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets or personal information in grant applications. This keeps applicants' patentable material and personal data private during the evaluation process.
