The electronic submission of proposals by Sponsored Projects Administration will continue during the government shutdown, and submission deadlines will not be affected. However, submissions for affected agencies will not be processed during the shutdown. See our statement of the Federal Government Shutdown for more information for researchers. NIH Policy for Review and Resubmission of New Investigators R01 Applications
With the implementation of the Next Generation Researchers Initiative (NGRI; NOT-OD-17-101 ), NIH has prioritized funding of meritorious R01 applications, a strategy that is expected to reduce the number of resubmissions necessary to receive an award. NIH will continue to make a special accommodation for NI R01 applications, by retaining clustered review and preferential release of summary statements. However, the special New Investigators (NI) deadline for next round resubmission of A1 R01 applications will be eliminated.
Policy
- Starting with R01 applications submitted for due dates on or after January 25, 2019:
- NI R01 applications will be reviewed on the same timeline as other applications submitted to the same FOA.
- NI R01 applications will be clustered together for review within a meeting.
- Summary statements for all NI R01 applications will be prioritized: to the extent possible, they will be released before summary statements for other applications reviewed in the same meeting.
- In general, summary statements will be available no later than 30 days before council.
- A1 resubmission of NI R01 applications will be accepted on the resubmission due date of any Program Announcement (PA, PAR, or PAS), both standard and special due dates, that accepts resubmission applications. See the NIH Resubmission Policy for requirements and instructions.
