Here is a video which might be helpful for those writing grant proposals (Hat tip to Dr. Aparna Bhatnagar, Director, Postdoctoral Affairs, Northwestern University for the email alert ):

The Center for Scientific Review has produced a video of a mock study section meeting to
provide an inside look at how NIH grant applications are reviewed
for scientific and technical merit. The video shows how outside
experts assess applications and how review meetings are conducted to
ensure fairness. The video also includes information on what
applicants can do to improve the chances their applications will
receive a positive review.

To make the video both authentic and authoritative, real reviewers volunteered to review
real but altered and disguised applications. NIH staff members also
volunteered to participate in this video, which was developed in
collaboration with the NIH Office of Extramural Research.
