The Center for Scientific Review at the National Institutes of Health has announced several upcoming meetings that will be closed to the public. These meetings will take place from February 3-4, 2021, and will focus on reviewing and evaluating grant applications. The discussions are confidential to protect personal information and proprietary details, such as trade secrets and patentable materials. Each committee, like the Brain Disorders and Clinical Neuroscience Integrated Review Group and others, will meet virtually, with contact details provided for the respective Scientific Review Officers.
Simple Explanation
The Center for Scientific Review is having special meetings to talk about who should get money to help with their science projects, but they can't let people join because they need to keep some important secrets safe.
