Reposted by Luis Colon-Perez, PhDDrug Monkey @drugmonkey.bsky.social · 26/08/2025This is also a fantastic time for NIH grant reviewers to be really careful with their critique language. Of course you want to use the Gold Standard concepts. And avoid the trigger words. Look, you can like the grant for whatever reasons you want and write approving critiques that pass muster. 23210

Talk to your institution pre-awards team about withdrawing because I’m pretty sure that application won’t be reviewed and about putting it back immediately under a different PA.

Luis Colon-Perez, PhD @luismcolonperez.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Something similar happened to one of my R01's. I withdrew it and submitted to a parent PAR. Do not be discouraged. In the study sections, reviewers do not change the review based on whether it's MOSAIC or regular K99, but you still need a good score to get funded. I recommend submitting a regular K 210
