Grant Review and Reviewer Training Panel Rosters
The Grant Review and Reviewer Training conference has two aims: 1) to provide specific instruction on how to effectively review research grants, with a special emphasis on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) review process; and 2) to conduct reviews of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Foundation (ASHFoundation) research grant applications. Training covers key components of the written review process, how to address review challenges, and how to prepare written summaries of review panel discussions.
