NIH Grant Scoring
NIH review criteria may change for different types of applications
Generally scoring is made within 5 criteria: significance, innovation, approach, investigators, environment, and an overall impact score. Scoring is on a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the best.
Generally, there are at least 3 scoring reviewers.
Applicants should look for opportunities to be very responsive to scoring comments. You are able to push back with strong justification if unsatisfied with specific comments.
Clairy and repetition is essential for these grants
