Enhancing Peer-Review at NIH

Office of the Director - January 6, 2009

In June 2007, the NIH initiated the effort to formally review the NIH peer review system with input from both external and internal communities to address the many new challenges of modern research. Following the March 2008 release of the final report, the NIH completed the design implementation plan in June 2008. The plan identified the following goals: 1) to engage the best reviewers, 2) improve quality and transparency of review, 3) ensure balanced and fair reviews, and 4) continuous review of peer review. The implementation of selected actions started in September 2008 with recent updates provided at the Enhancing Peer-Review at NIH website.
