Application Receipt Dates and Review Schedule

* The move to electronic applications also has brought a change in terminology. The new Grants.gov terminology (included in the table above) corresponds to traditional NIH terms as follows:

• New = new
• Resubmission = a revised or amended application
• Renewal = Competing Continuation
• Continuation = Progress Report
• Revision = Competing Supplement

If the application receipt date falls on a weekend, the application must be postmarked by the application receipt date and received at the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) by the following Monday.

If the application receipt date falls on a holiday, (but not on a weekend), the application must be postmarked by the application receipt date and received at CSR by the following day.

** Start dates are determined by the availability of NCI funds and may not occur until well after the earliest possible start date.

Back to Top Peer Review Process

Upon receipt, competing applications will be reviewed both by the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for completeness and for conformance to all eligibility requirements and special provisions and requirements. Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant without further consideration.

Those applications judged to be complete and eligible will be evaluated, according to the review criteria listed in the Program Announcement by Subcommittee G convened by the Division of Extramural Activities of the NCI. A second level of review by the will be conducted by the National Cancer Advisory Board that will ensure that the application meets the broad program needs and priorities of the NCI and the National Cancer Program before an award can be made.

For review criteria for the R25E grant mechanism, see the Review Criteria section of the Program Announcement.
