Matthew S. Alexander, Ph.D., Pediatric Neurology, recently participated in the NIH Early Career Reviewer (ECR) Program. Specifically, he was assigned to the Therapeutic Approaches to Genetic Diseases (TAG) study section.Dr. Alexander comments on the experience. "I think that a lot of new faculty would be interested in the ECR program as it was helpful to get a behind the scenes look at the grant review process," Dr. Alexander said, "Overall, it was a very useful program for learning about what grant review panels are looking for and also how they are dealing with the new NIH guidelines for scientific rigor and reproducibility."
