"On behalf of the Endocrine Society, thank you for considering our comments on proposed changes to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) peer review criteria for research project grant applications. Founded in 1916, the Endocrine Society represents approximately 18,000 physicians and scientists engaged in the treatment of and research on endocrine disorders, such as diabetes, hypertension, infertility, obesity, osteoporosis, and thyroid disease. Our members also include basic and clinical researchers who are primarily funded through the NIH, and are therefore invested in a fair peer review system for grant applicants, as well as a streamlined process for those serving as reviewers."
