title: The grant application: making yours stand out across the review cycle.
abstract: This article provides an overview of the grant application during the review process. Three levels of review occur once a grant is submitted-administrative, scientific, and programmatic. The purposes of each level of review are different, but the overall goal for the funding agency is to fund grant applications that address important research topics, are scientifically meritorious, and assist the agency in meeting their goals and objectives.
