1.1.1. NIH Mock Study Section [
Since 2014, the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) at NIH offers NIH Mock Study Section aimed at Improving K, R, and F series grant submissions. The sessions are aimed at simulating an actual NIH study section through the Research Development Program. The review sessions for clinical and translational K, R, and F series grant applications are offered twice annually, in Spring and Winter. According to NIH, the purpose of this program is to “increase the likelihood of grant funding success by providing comprehensive, study section-like feedback to applicants on their complete grant application prior to grant submission”.
