Reminder to investigators that all National Institutes of Health review sections follow the new Simplified Review Framework. The Simplified Review Framework prioritizes the review score for Factor 1: the perceived importance of the research. In the new Simplified Review Framework the score for Factor 1 sets a limit for the best possible overall score for the grant. Scores for Factor 2 (rigor and feasibility of the scientific approach) and Factor 3 (expertise and resources) can reinforce the score for Factor 1 (Significance) or worsen it but not improve the overall score.
