Annual Report of Program Activities

Excerpt from Annual Report of Program Activities: Division of Research Grants, Division of Research Services, Fiscal Year 1972 The Director and Deputy Director continued their contact with the scientific community and grantee institutions by participating in a variety of scientific and national organization meetings held during the year. The Research Grants Review Branch experienced an even heavier workload than ever before, processing competing and non-competing applications with more than 85 percent of the applications receiving initial scientific review by the Branch. A paper entitled, Who reads your project-grant application to the National Institutes of Health, (federation Proceedings, Vol. 51, No. L, january-february 1972) prepared in the Branch formed the basis for a panel discussion at the spring meetings of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology. Several workshops and conferences were sponsored during the year by the study sections in a variety of fields to examine the state of the art.
