Many study sections assume that considerable work will have been done in preparation for a submission. How much prior work will be assumed in reviewing the proposals?
This question seems relevant to the review of COE proposals. The proposed staff’s general experience and accomplishments relevant to the proposed work would be factored into the Personnel criterion. The review panel may view any preliminary data directly relevant to proposed research as supportive of the scientific merit of the proposal and thus factor such data into the scoring of the Technical Approach criterion. • Having seen in previous NIH experience a focus on original and innovative research, can you say something about the weight to be given to the 3 components: infrastructure, training, and researcher. In the evaluation of COE proposals: 1) Infrastructure would be factored into the Institutional Experience and Facilities criterion (15 points maximum assigned to this criterion). 2) The merit of the training component of a proposal could impact all three criteria. The weight of the training component relative to the other components of a Center program is not defined in the BAA.
