NIH Study Sections are how the US government recruits expert scientists to help decide what biomedical research to fund.
Normally, Congress and political appointees in Heath & Human Services establish the main funding priorities, and these result in "funding opportunity announcements," inviting researchers to submit project proposals that respond to those priorities. This process constitutes NIH's "extramural" research program, by which academic scientists across the country are recruited to work on NIH's research priorities.
