CSR Mission

Since 1946, we have worked to see that NIH grant applications receive fair, independent, expert, and timely scientific reviews—free from inappropriate influences—so NIH can fund the most promising research.

CSR Organization

The Center for Scientific Review (CSR) organizes the peer review of all NIH research proposals, cooperative agreements, and research & development contracts. We also receive all grant applications for NIH, as well as for some other components of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
