REVIEW
At each IC, a review panel composed of extramural scientists will review and rate the applications. NIAAA uses AA-3 Committee for this purpose.
Review criteria emphasize potential to
become a contributing scientist in the area of the program (e.g., clinical research, etc.)
Standard NIH scoring (100 – 500) is used.

Funds Available
The funding level for the LRP program is set each year by NIH on a formula basis related to the size of an Institute’s clinical research portfolio.
Extramural LRP funds can be expended for either the Clinical or Pediatric Programs.
