BIOBEHAVIORAL RESEARCHERS SOUGHT FOR REVIEW INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
If you're wondering what happens to your grant applications once they hit the halls of the National Institutes of Health, NIH is offering you a chance to find out. The agency is recruiting for its Review Internship Program at the Center for Scientific Review and they are especially interested in targeting more social and behavioral researchers.
CSR manages the peer review programs or study sections that evaluate most of the grant applications submitted to NIH. Participants in the internship program receive hands-on experience in managing a small study section, recruiting scientists to serve as peer reviewers, editing summary statements and referring applications to review groups.
"Having more behavioral and social scientists participate in this activity would help to build knowledge both within CSR and in the extramural communities about the NIH review process," says Raynard Kington, associate director for behavioral and social sciences research at NIH.
All interns receive one- to two-year appointments. Interns appointed for a second year may get a chance to help coordinate an NIH research program within an NIH institute or center.
