Faupel-Badger, Ph.D., and Asad Umar, D.V.M., Ph.D., published A Proposed Framework and Lexicon for Cancer Prevention, in Cancer Discovery on April 4.

Changes Coming to NIH Applications and Peer Review in 2025
Multiple changes are coming in 2025 that will affect the submission and review of NIH grant applications. These changes include updates to the peer review and submission of most research project grants, fellowships, and training grants; Common Forms for NIH biographical sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support; updated instructions for reference letters; and the transition to FORMS-I application instructions.
Although each of these initiatives has specific goals, they are all meant to simplify, clarify, and/or promote greater fairness towards a level playing field for applicants throughout the application and review processes.
Learn more about these changes coming in 2025.
