Meetings open with 15 minutes of focused discussion/Q&A and the remainder is devoted to peer review. We’ll cover specific aims and research strategy on a schedule designed to prep you for the Edge Review deadline.
You must be submitting to NIH in February/March 2026 (January for AIDS-related proposals or around this time for foundation or other grants) and commit to a majority of meetings to participate.
