Getting to know NIH staff Program Official: extramural staff scientist responsible for developing research initiatives and for the programmatic, scientific, and/or technical aspects of assigned applications and grants Scientific Review Officer: an extramural staff scientist and the federal official responsible for ensuring that applications receive an objective and fair initial peer review

11. What is a Concept Paper? A concept paper describes your research plans concisely. It’s a tool to facilitate productive discussion with an NIH Program Official • Study Goals • You want support to do what? • Problem/Significance • Why does this topic need study? • Research Question • What hypotheses will you test? • Design/Analysis • What study design and statistical approach do you propose? • Team • Who will be the key participants and collaborators?
