GSA has responded to a request for information from NIH’s National Institute of General Medical Sciences on “Innovative Approaches to Technology Development for the Biomedical Research Community.”

As such, peer review must consider applications one or two grant cycles into the future and incorporate a wide diversity of research interests.
