The Use of Generative AI is Prohibited for NIH Peer Review

To maintain security and confidentiality, NIH clarifies its existing review standards and prohibits NIH scientific peer reviewers from using natural language processors, large language models, or other generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies for analyzing and formulating peer review critiques for grant applications and research and development (R&D) contract proposals.

Uploading or sharing content or original concepts from an NIH grant application, contract proposal, or critique to online generative AI tools violates the NIH peer review confidentiality and integrity requirements.(NOT-OD-23-149)
