Each research proposal is reviewed by IPPF’s Research Committee, which recommends funding for the highest scored proposals. The grant review process is based on the peer review system utilized by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Scoring of grants is done individually by each member of the Research Committee and scores are added together to determine the final ranking of each proposal. Any reviewer with a conflict of interest is excused from voting on a specific proposal. The grant selection process is unbiased and independent; awards are based solely on scientific merit.
