Dear Mr. Chairman:
Subject: Nutrition Research Peer Review at the
National Institutes of Health (HRD-81-95)
As previously arranged, we are providing you with the infor-
mation we obtained at the request of the former Chairman of the
Subcommittee on Nutrition, Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutri-
tion, and Forestry, dealing with nutrition-related research at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH). The Chairman raised a number
of questions principally aimed:at determining whether NIH's peer
review system
--provided adequate peer review of (1) applied research pro-
posals and (2) research proposals using innovative ap-
proaches,
--used qualified individuals to review nutrition-related
proposals,
--funded nutrition-related grant proposals less frequently
than other grant proposals,
--funded researchers with prior NIH support more readily
than previously unsupported researchers, and
--favored researchers from institutions with substantial
prior support from NIH.
