Hello Colleagues,

We recently helped an NKU PI submit an NIH application and requested the same study section that reviewed the PI's previous application in the Assignment Request Form, as the project scope and science remained largely unchanged. However, we recently noticed in eRA Commons that the application has been assigned to a different study section.

I understand that NIH makes the final assignment decision, but I'm curious whether others have had a similar experience and, if so, whether you were able to get any insight into the rationale for the reassignment. How much weight does prior review history typically carry in these decisions?

I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences you're willing to share.

Thank you,

Heath Justice
