Proposal Services provides assistance with Grants.gov February receipt dates for NIH R01 proposal submissions
Investigators considering submission of an National Institutes of Health (NIH) R01 application via Grants.gov's electronic process for the February 5 receipt date are strongly encouraged to contact KUCR Proposal Services early in the proposal planning process. Contact Barbara Earl, manager, at 864-7781 or bearl@ku.edu.
New Limits on appendix materials for all NIH/AHRQ/NIOSH grant applications beginning with receipt dates on or after January 3
The NIH has announced a change in policy limiting appendix materials that may be submitted with grant applications to NIH, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The goal of changing the guidelines for grant application appendix materials is to encourage applications to be as concise as possible while containing the information needed for expert scientific review. It is important to note that the appendix may not be used to circumvent the page limitations of the research plan. More information on this policy is available on the NIH Web site.
Establishment of multiple principal investigator awards for the support of team science projects
Beginning with research grant applications submitted for February 2007 receipt dates, the NIH will allow applicants and their institutions to identify more than one principal investigator (PI). The multiple PI option will be extended to most research grant applications submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the SF424 R&R application package. Some types of applications will not accommodate more than a single PI, and this restriction will be described in announcements for those programs. The NIH expects the availability of the multiple PI option to encourage interdisciplinary and other team approaches to biomedical research. More information on this policy is available on the NIH Web site.
NIH fiscal policy for grant awards – FY 2007
NIH is instituting the following fiscal policies in FY 2007: Inflationary adjustments for existing non-competing renewal awards (including modular grants) will not be made in FY 2007. More information on this policy is available on the NIH Web site.
NIH is currently operating under a continuing resolution, which was recently extended until February 15, 2007. Until the final appropriation is enacted, NIH will issue non-competing research grant awards at a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award (up to 80% of the previously committed level). More information on this policy is available on the NIH Web site.
Questions about specific awards may be directed to the Grants Management Specialist identified in the notice of award.
