Already a Member? Log in to view this course.
This course covers the four NIH rigor scoring criteria introduced in 2016 and revised periodically since: Rigor of Prior Research; Scientific Rigor; Consideration of Relevant Biological Variables; and Authentication of Key Biological and/or Chemical Resources. Because reviewers love to criticize these sections, they cause applicants a great deal of consternation. I will provide tips and samples of space-saving strategies to write effective rigor sections.
