From SBS' President
SBS assists NIH in Seeking Reviewers
The quality of NIH's peer review process depends on the quality of the reviewers serving in the NIH study sections. SBS has been asked to recommend experienced members
as reviewers.
NIH seeks reviewers who:
- are experienced senior scientists;
- have received major peer-reviewed research support either from NIH or an equivalent agency;
- understand the grant review process;
- are willing to serve as study section members.
You are not required to be a resident of the United States. If you are interested in being considered as an NIH reviewer endorsed by SBS, please, send an e-mail to email@sbsonline.org,
with "Interested
in serving as an NIH reviewer" in the subject line . You
will be asked to submit a basic bio to help the SBS Board endorse you as a reviewer and to enter you in the NIH database of volunteers.
Help Direct the Future of your Society
Elections for three new SBS Board members are being held until December 31, 2007. Ballots have been emailed or mailed by US post to all of SBS’ members. If you have not received
your ballot, please contact Karen Costanzo at kcostanzo@sbsonline.org or 203-743-1336 x109.
Your new board members will begin their terms at the 14th Annual SBS Conference & Exhibition in St. Louis this coming April.
Help decide who will represent you on the SBS Board.
