Activities include the establishment of a panel of reviewers appropriate to the content of the individual applications; serving as the SRA for the actual review of the applications; entering the resultant scores from the review panel; preparing and releasing resulting summary statements in a timely manner. The TPG meeting schedule and selection of reviewers will be coordinated with the overall ERC review activities. Dr. Stiles has unique qualifications to undertake work for the Office of Extramural Research (OEP) at NIOSH as described in the Statement of Work. NIOSH OEP conducts peer review of complex multi-component applications related to the 20-year NIOSH-sponsored Education and Research Centers, which provide primary training for most occupational health professionals in the country. Dr. Stiles plays a key role in conducting the annual review of these complex applications. Conducting these reviews requires advanced experience and training in the NIH model of peer review, knowledge of the areas of expertise and of the specific experts related to the ERC training community, and a track record in conducting reviews of ERC grant applications. Dr. Stiles held a senior position as manager of epidemiology study sections at NIH for more than 10 years. He also holds a Ph.D from Johns Hopkins in epidemiology. Dr. Stiles has previously managed the ERC reviews at NIOSH for the last three years and so has unique experience in identifying and working with key experts who are qualified to review ERC grant applications. His prior experience also provides unique knowledge of the complex review model and procedures that NIOSH has developed in managing the ERC reviews. This project is currently supported by justification for other than full and open competition to Dr. Stiles under authority of 41 U.S.C.253.
