NIH grant reviews resumed urgently

If you are a scientist or small business working on therapies for developmental, psychiatric, or substance use disorders, your NIH grant applications will be reviewed in a closed virtual meeting on December 2, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. This meeting was canceled earlier because of a 43-day government shutdown and is being held urgently so evaluations can be sent to national advisory councils for timely funding recommendations.

Review closed to protect confidential information

The December 2, 2025 NIH review will be closed to the public under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) and (c)(6) to protect confidential trade secrets, patentable material, and personal information in grant applications. If you submitted an application, the review and discussions will not be public so your commercial and personal details remain protected.
