Subject: New Forms and Process for NIH R01 Grant Application Submissions for Feb. 2007 Receipt Dates and Beyond!
BIG CHANGES FOR R01 APPLICANTS
For the new February 5, 2007 receipt date and beyond…
- NIH will require electronic application submission for
all R01 applications – NO MORE PAPER!
- Submission involves a new application form. The new SF424 (R&R) form
set contains the same information, but has a very different look and feel.
Try it out before it’s time to submit.
- Prepare yourself now! See Tips
for Investigators (PDF - 56 KB) to learn how.
- The new process changes the approval and submission procedures within
your institution. Work with your central grants office to learn how your
institution is handling the changes.
- NIH continues to welcome unsolicited, investigator-initiated applications;
use the R01 Parent Announcement listed at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/parent_announcements.htm.
- Take advantage of the December
5, 2006 training event. Check out the other training resources available
at http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/training.htm.

- Take advantage of the eRA Commons Web
support ticket system for quicker service when seeking help.
