Modular Grants Application Process Outcome Evaluation
Introduction
The Modular Grant Application Process was implemented on June 1, 1999. At the outset of its implementation, the research community was told that NIH would evaluate the modular grant application process several years after its implementation. NIH wanted to delay the evaluation until everyone involved with the process had some experience with it and NIH did not want an assessment of the process to be confounded by the learning process.
