Short Statement: NIH conducted an extensive formal and in-depth review of the NIH peer review system resulting in a number of selected recommendations and key actions that are presently undergoing a phased implementation. A major recommendation involves the shortening and restructuring of the research plan of the PHS 398 grant application, which NIH will implement for applications submitted in January 2010 and beyond, allowing the change to be effected for a full Fiscal Year (applications submitted 1/2010 and beyond are funded in FY2011). The other significant factor reflected in this out-of-cycle submission is the NIH workforce initiative, mandated by the NIH Reform Act of 2006 and requiring collection of identifying and demographic information and reporting on those with a postdoctoral role who serve as research assistants or associates on research grants.
