- Title
Clinical trialists less likely to seek grant renewals.
- Abstract
The article reports on the reasons why clinical grant proposals receive poorer scores from reviewers at the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH) compared to their basic science counterparts. It states that a study shows that about 63,000 basic-science grant applications were scored more favorably than the 30,000 clinical grant applications in which both applications were reviewed between 2000-2004. Reasons were enumerated such as the clinical proposals failed to adequately address human-subject protection and there were lesser clinical researchers who work hard in order to renew their grant applications. Furthermore, it reports that for a clinical or non-clinical grant proposals to be successfully renewed, they should follow the resubmission processes.
