Purpose
To request CSR to refer grant
applications to NIAID, including requests from either applicants or NIAID
staff.
Procedure
When CSR receives competing applications,
it assigns them to one or more ICs (typically
two) for possible funding, according to NIH referral guidelines. Also, investigators can request assignment to an IC in their application cover
letter.
Program
officers may request a change in an application's primary
assignment either 1) before initial
peer review to correct a CSR assignment or 2) after peer review
from another IC so NIAID can fund it.
Investigators and program officers can also request a dual
assignment either before or after peer
review. To request dual assignment, see the Dual
Assignments SOP.
Applicants
- Include a cover letter with your application requesting assignment
to NIAID. State that you have discussed the assignment with an NIAID
program officer who agreed that NIAID wants your application assigned
here.
- If you are not happy with a CSR assignment, request a change directly
from CSR, or ask an NIAID program officer to make the request for you.
Program Officers
- Ask to be the primary institute only if your division has the money
to fund the application and you are interested in it.
- After peer review, funding comes from your division's discretionary
funds.
- Ask your management if the grant can go on its end-of-year request
list.
- Keep in mind that your division will budget for few of these applications.
- Tell PIs that NIAID funds most applications by the payline. Go to
the NIAID Paylines
and Budget Web page.
Before review
- Request reassignment of a grant application to NIAID after talking
to the PI applicant and contacting the program officer from the other
IC.
After peer review
- Do not request reassignment of a grant application before the summary
statement is entered in IMPAC
II.
- If a program officer from another IC does not agree to reassign an
application, request a dual assignment. See the Dual
Assignments SOP.
Contacts
Applicants with assignment or review questions should contact the Center for Scientific Review, or if the application will be reviewed at NIAID, contact the NIAID Scientific Review Program or the appropriate program officer. For more information, see Contact Staff for Help.
