What changed
The NIH Center for Scientific Review has issued a notice announcing three closed meetings for grant application review scheduled in late April 2026. The meetings—covering integrative myocardial physiology, Ruth L. Kirschstein fellowships, micro/nanoplastics research, auditory neuroscience, and bacterial innate immunomodulation—will be conducted virtually. The closures are mandated under 5 U.S.C. sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6) to protect confidential commercial property and personal information of grant applicants.\n\nThis notice is informational and does not require any action from the public. Grant applicants should be aware that their applications may be reviewed in closed sessions where trade secrets, patentable material, and personal identifying information will be discussed. Scientific review officers and contact information are provided for each meeting for inquiry purposes.
