Those assisting researchers in filling out the Vertebrate Animals Section in grant applications may find it helpful to know what NIH staff reviewers and Scientific Review Group reviewers are responsible for verifying. The NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, OLAW, has released two new training resources for reviewers of the VAS in grant applications.
OLAW’s new resources include:
- a Reviewer Training Module for the VAS (3 minutes), and
- a VAS Reviewer Cheat Sheet (1 page PDF)
