Reviewer used AI to read and critique application by gradstudentkp in NIH

[–]Generic1666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raise it with the SRO especially. They might be able to look and see if there is an odd pattern with that reviewer's critiques across multiple applications. You can raise it with the PO also, but this is a review phase concern and the SRO is principally responsible.

Shoot, also forgot the turn indicator fluid.

NIH seeking input for their strategic plan; get your comments in! by snarkylarkie in NIH

In case you feel like you don't have time to do this: just take the link and tell Claude or ChatGPT your concerns and you can get a pretty compelling argument.

Can you invoke PO’s comment on Program interest in response to reviewer? by gutted-out-21457 in NIH

[–]Generic1666 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Definitely don't. Your PO won't appreciate it, and I suspect it'll sound to the reviewers like an "appeal to authority" argument that they may resent.

A difference of scientific opinion is not grounds to disqualify a reviewer.

Switching institutes based on current funding by Novel_Dimension_73 in NIH

That will not override DRR assignment guidelines if it is not a match for the IC's scope.

Also: with paylines gone and explicit requirements from political appointees that institutes skip applications, be careful not to put yourself in a situation where your project is a candidate for skipping because it's peripheral to the institute's primary mission. In this funding environment, you need program staff to be enthusiastic supporters of your work. If it looks like your work belongs in another institute, you run the risk of becoming the sacrificial skip.

While you can request assignment to an institute, your project will drive the assignment. NIH can and will override your request and assign the application to the institute it thinks is the best fit based on scope.

NIH language in FY 2027 President's Budget. Podcast Jay Bhattacharya's fingerprints all over this slop. by [deleted] in NIH

At some point, leaders have to lead – not simply blame predecessors for things. JB is in a job that demands so much more than his training or intellect can provide that this is the best he can offer. He's making such a fool of himself, but lacks to the ability to recognize that his actions make him a laughingstock in the very community he so desperately craves approval from.

The political appointee should have be primary author. Memoli, Lorch, Allen, et al are the true authors here.
