• Changed rules on Appendices:
http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/noticefiles/NOT-OD-07-018.html
• Multiple principal investigators
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/multi_pi/index.htm
Change contd.
oTransition to electronic
delayed for Ks, Fs, Ts and
complex mechanisms (program
projects and centers)
(maybe June, August,
September 2008)
oShortened grant applications
coming soon… maybe
New Investigators – more detail
• NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D., has noted that in tight budget
times, it is more important than ever to fund new investigators and
innovative research.
• Support for new investigators is the highest NIH priority for FY 2007
• 1500 new investigator R01s in 2007
New Investigators Program at NIH

Things that will not change now
or in the near future
• It is hard to obtain funding.
• It is harder to obtain funding if you do not
apply.
• Most applications that we pay are
resubmissions. (One recent funding list, 6
first submission, 7 were A1, 8 were A2 –
convenience sample!)

NIA RFAs and PASs
RFAs
• Focus on a particular topic
• Single receipt date
• Usually about three months notice
• Usually special review group
• Set-aside money
PASs
• Somewhat broader focus than RFA
• Multiple receipt dates
• Regular review groups
• Set-aside money
