β¦.National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), projected in March that it would be able to issue only about 5% of the new awards it gives out in a typical year because of the personnel shortage, the documents revealβ¦.
The struggle is realβ¦.
A staffing shortage is making it difficult for the US National Institutes of Health to spend its US$47-billion budget by awarding research grants.

I am an NIH reviewer for ~7 yrs, and standing member for 6. Each cycle takes ~2 months of intensive work! Across 2-3 cycles, it is ~half a year dedicated to NIH review. It is an honor to serve, and I love NIH, but removing continuous submission is unfair to standing members.
The @NIH has ended continuous submission. The new policy gives two extra calendar weeks from the submission deadline if you have a study section or SEP as a reviewer within 4 weeks before or after a regular deadline, or serve on an NIH advisory council
