your faculty or staff engage in proposal writing, they may reap the professional development benefit of reviewing as well as provide the professional service.

FAQs</a>). We will conduct this process in a traditional "NIH-like" format, with at least 2 reviewers assigned to each proposal. NIH review forms will be used, with instructions and deadlines. These reviewers will not need to participate in a formal panel meeting,
so time commitments are modest. Each reviewer will be asked to review 2-3 proposals, and will receive a modest honorarium for their contributions. Individuals that you nominate will receive an official NRMN invitation to review and supplementary information
directly from Boston College.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
