Anybody else having NIH grant applications be bounced around study sections? I've got an R01 that's now on its fifth or sixth study section assignment...not loving these "efficiency" disruptions to NIH.

Finished & submitted one of the hardest grant applications I’ve ever worked on—a P50 to NIDA. 😅 Grateful to a dreamteam of research colleagues and UK OVPR and SUPRA for investing in us! Hoping to get this funding to advance non-abstinence outcomes in meth use disorder!
