RESUBMISSION OF UNPAID RFA APPLICATIONS AND RESUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS WITH
A CHANGED GRANT ACTIVITY MECHANISM
RELEASE DATE: January 16, 2003
NOTICE: NOT-OD-03-019
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The majority of grant applications submitted
to NIH each year are investigator-initiated. However, the Institutes
and Centers of NIH also solicit grant applications on specific topics
through the use of Requests for Applications (RFAs). With this notice
the NIH is changing its practice regarding resubmissions of three
categories of grant applications. Those categories include:
1. Applications that were originally submitted in response to an RFA
and then resubmitted as an investigator-initiated application.
2. Applications that were originally submitted as investigator-
initiated applications and subsequently resubmitted in response
to an RFA.
3. Applications that were originally submitted using one grant
mechanism and subsequently resubmitted using a different grant
mechanism (for example, an application that was originally an R01
and then is resubmitted as an R21).
Since an RFA often has special considerations of eligibility,
scientific scope, and review criteria, it is felt that most unfunded
applications should be resubmitted as NEW applications. Similarly, a
change of grant mechanism (from an R01 to an R21 or from an R03 to R01,
for example) usually involves a change of eligibility criteria,
application characteristics, dollar limits, time limits, or review
criteria. This also suggests that consideration as a new application
is the most appropriate course. Because the application will be new,
it will be easier to conform to the new application requirements, which
should advantage the applicant in the review process. Additionally,
submission of a new application will allow the applicant to fully
benefit from the NIH policy that allows an applicant to submit two
revisions within two years (see
<a href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/amendedapps.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/amendedapps.htm</a>).
NEW APPLICATIONS: The new application must be submitted on the
scheduled due dates for new applications (see
<a href="//grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm">http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/submissionschedule.htm</a>). It must
not include an Introduction describing the changes and improvements
made; and the text must not be marked to indicate the changes. While
the investigator may still benefit from the previous review, the
application is not to not state explicitly how. The reviewers will not
be provided with the previous summary statement. The investigator will
be allowed to submit the new application and up to two revised versions
of this application, should that be necessary.
POLICY: This general policy on application resubmission, stated below,
applies to all grant mechanisms that might be solicited via an RFA and
to instances where there is a change in mechanism. There may, however,
be exceptions to this policy, which will be clearly identified in the
original RFA or in a follow-up RFA.
1. When an application that was submitted in response to an RFA is
not funded and the investigator wishes to resubmit an application
on this topic as an investigator-initiated application, it is to
be submitted as a NEW application, unless provisions for
submission of a revised application are clearly delineated in the
RFA. In addition, if a subsequent RFA specifically solicits
revisions of unfunded applications from a previous RFA, the
instructions in the second RFA should be followed. In all other
cases, applications submitted in response to an RFA and then
resubmitted as an investigator-initiated application must be
submitted as a NEW application.
2. When a previously unfunded application, originally submitted as
an investigator-initiated application is to be submitted in
response to an RFA, it is to be prepared as a NEW application.
3. When an unfunded application that was reviewed for a particular
research grant mechanism (for example, R01) is to be submitted
for a different grant mechanism (for example, R03), it is to be
prepared as a NEW application.
This change in policy is effective for applications submitted on or
after May 10, 2003 so it includes all applications going to January
2004 councils.
