CSR and the NIH bioengineering consortium, BECON, are working together to improve the quality of and provide information about the peer review of bioengineering grant applications at NIH. This web page focuses on bioimaging review groups, and the table below contains the names of study sections responsible for the review of the majority of bioimaging grant applications. For the standing committees, the study section name is hotlinked to the roster of standing committee members (with the exception of DMG, which is currently linked to its meeting roster). For the SBIR committees, the study section name is hotlinked to the latest meeting roster.

In the Center for Scientific Review, Study Sections with related interests are organized into Initial Review Groups (IRGs). The IRG for each study section is also provided below.

The CSR Directory can be used to obtain Scientific Review Administrator (SRA) or IRG Chief contact information.

Study Section Title	SS Acronym	SRA	IRG	Study Section Type
Diagnostic Imaging	DMG	Lee Rosen	SRB	Standing committee reviewing R01s
Diagnostic Radiology	RNM	Eileen Bradley	SRB	Standing committee reviewing R01s
Medical Imaging Technologies(1)	SSS-7	Robert Nordstrom	SRB	Special Emphasis Panel reviewing SBIRs
Special Study Section X	SSS-X	Lee Rosen	SRB	Special Emphasis Panel reviewing SBIRs
Biophysical Chemistry(2)	BBCB	Donald Schneider	BPC	Standing committee reviewing R01s
Metallobiochemistry(3)	BMT	John Bowers	BPC	Standing committee reviewing R01s
Radiation Therapeutics and Biology	RTB	Paul Strudler	ONC	Standing committee reviewing R01s
Special Study Section I(4)	SSS-U	Marcia Steinberg	CDF	Special Emphasis Panel reviewing SBIRs
Microscopic Imaging	MI	Sally Amero	BST	Standing committee reviewing both R01 and SBIR applications

Other types of applications, e.g., Research Resources (P41s) are reviewed by Special Emphasis Panels (SEPs) within the appropriate IRG

(1) SSS-7 also handles R01s dealing with large magnet development

(2) As part of its portfolio, BBCB handles developments in electron an optical microscopy, electron paramagnetic and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies for molecular level analyses

(3) As part of its portfolio, BMT reviews mass spectrometry imaging.

(4) Special Study Section U is within the CDF IRG, and in addition to SBIRs, will manage Special Emphasis Panels for R01s dealing with microscopy development (optical, EM, STM/AFM) mostly at the cellular/organelle level, as well as S10 (large instrumentation grants).
