The scientific merit of applications is determined by peer review. Reviewers are selected on the basis of their demonstrated competence and achievement as independent scientific investigators in relevant disciplines. Quality of research, publications, research grants, professional service, and other scientific achievements and honors are considered in selecting members.
Most members have served on other bodies that review research proposals, such as NIH study sections and review committees of foundations and major health voluntary associations. Other qualifications include professional commitment, integrity, and ability to work effectively in a group setting. Study sections do not have a standing membership. Peer reviewers may serve a maximum of 4 consecutive years on one study section in the role of member. They must take a break in service of at least 2 consecutive years before being re-appointed.
