Submitting the application

• Look at the information from NIH on review groups. The focus of the group and the expertise of its standing members can help you decide who you would prefer to review your application. If needed you can contact the scientific review officer of a group to see whether they feel your application fits in their group.
• Include a cover letter in which you request that the application be directed to the institute and review group you want it to go to.
• Submit early.
