Tim Shahan Gets Tapped

For NIH Study Section

Utah State University associate professor Timothy Shahan of the Department of Psychology was appointed to the National Institute of Health’s Biobehavioral Regulation, Learning and Ethology study section. His four-year appointment starts July 1.

The BRLE study section assesses the scientific merit of research grant applications to NIH that are concerned with basic biobehavioral processes and adaptation across the lifespan. It ensures that NIH grant applications receive fair, independent, expert and timely reviews that are free from inappropriate influences so NIH can fund the most promising research. The study section meets three times a year and reviews approximately 180 NIH grant applications per year.

Acknowledging Shahan’s accomplishment, USU Vice President of Research Brent Miller said the appointment to this important national organization is a mark of high recognition for Shahan and for USU itself. (more)
