SUMMARY

Center for Scientific Review (CSR) performs a wide range of information technology-driven and support activities to further CSR’s mission as the portal for NIH grant applications and their review for scientific merit. CSR receives approximately 100,000 grant applications per year and organizes peer review groups or “study sections” that evaluate research grant applications submitted to NIH. CSR additionally receives and coordinates the review of grant applications of other operating divisions within the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
CSR’s mission is to ensure that NIH grant applications receive fair, independent, expert, and timely reviews, so ultimately NIH can fund the most promising research. These applications are reviewed by study sections administered by CSR’s 27 branches which are presently organized into 5 CSR divisions. Approximately 470 Scientific Review Officers (SROs) coordinate the activities across the 27 branches, with assistance from administrative support staff. The SROs work in partnership with the scientific community to ensure that each scientific review group (study section) identifies the most meritorious science for recommended funding by the NIH’s Extramural Institutes and Centers.
Because grant applications must be processed within very specific timeframes to be considered for funding, flexibility in our workforce is essential. If the applications are not processed within a timely manner, proposals may not be paid out and investigators may be forced to suspend projects. They may also furlough existing laboratory staff when renewal grants are not promptly funded.

Support services for the operation of the CSR divisional branch activities that shall be performed by the individuals under this contract include but are not limited to:

• Support of Scientific Review Meetings
