Confidential and Free Editing Service for Fellows
Do you have a scientific document that needs editing? If so, the NIH Fellows Editorial Board (FEB) offers all NIH and FDA fellows (postbac, predoctoral, postdoctoral, research, and clinical) a free, fast, and confidential scientific document-editing service. An all-volunteer Board composed of fellows, FEB edits various scientific documents such as manuscripts, book chapters, and grant proposals for grammar, form, and clarity. The editors also review essential elements pertinent to the document, such as figures and figure legends, but do not consider scientific merit. Authors generally receive written feedback in 10 business days. For more information, check out the FEB website or by e-mail at ncieditors@mail.nih.gov.
