CSR to Abolish Application Deadlines for Chartered Reviewers

The NIH's Center for Scientific Review has posted a new issue of its informative quarterly newsletter, Peer Review Notes. The newsletter reports that "Appointed members of all chartered CSR study sections soon may be able to submit--at any time--their R01, R03, R21, R34 and R15 applications intended for the standing due dates (not special dates for RFAs and PARs).

Such applications would be guaranteed a review within 90 days of receipt and would be referred to the appropriate NIH Institute Advisory Council for the next possible round." CSR's intent is to reward reviewers "for their many sacrifices and offer greater flexibility in submitting an application because they often must do so during the time they are reviewing and participating in study section meetings."
