What changed
The NIH Center for Scientific Review issued a notice pursuant to section 1009 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act announcing five closed meetings scheduled for May 5-6, 2026. The meetings will review grant applications across diverse research topics including aging/neurological/mental health, cardiovascular and respiratory clinical trials, cancer genetics, gene regulation, genome/genetics fellowships, and pathogenic eukaryotes. Meetings will be conducted virtually from NIH headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland.
Affected parties include grant applicants, researchers, and institutions applying for NIH funding in these research areas. The meetings are closed because the grant applications and discussions could disclose confidential trade secrets, commercial property such as patentable material, and personal information about individuals associated with the applications. Disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under 5 U.S.C. sections 552b(c)(4) and 552b(c)(6).
