Where are the application forms?
Application forms are all on line at www.lrp.nih.gov. Press the "Apply
Now" button to receive a username and password to access the forms.
|
If my grant or award is pending, should I include
it on the "Funding Information" form?
Yes, provide as much information as you can. If it is
a NIH grant, indicate the type of award - for example, "K-23." Then select "pending review" for the award status.
|
Which grant should I put on my application if my
current grant will expire shortly and I will begin receiving a new grant after that?
Apply based on your current grant/award. When your new grant is awarded, send information about the new
grant to LRP@NIH.GOV and fax the Notice of Grant Award to 866-847-4046. |
Who should I list as the "Institutional Contact"
in my application?
Your institutional contact is the official at your institution who can verify your
base salary and availability of time and resources to conduct
your proposed research. Institutional contacts can be the dean, associate dean, provost or chancellor of research
and sponsored programs, vice-president of research or administration, or department chairperson.
|
What is the "institutional statement assuring research support?"
Your supporting institution will be asked to confirm that it will continue to support your research through the end of your LRP contract.
This assurance is provided online. |
What information does my supporting institution have to provide to NIH?
In order to participate in a LRP, your institutional contact must certify (1) you will be provided the time and resources to engage in qualifying research for two years; (2) you are or will be engaged in the proposed research for at least 50% or more of your total level of effort for an average of 20 hours per week during each quarterly service period. That is, during each contract quarter, you must conduct the required research for a minimum of 240 hours (based on a 12-week quarter) or 260 hours (based on a 13-week quarter) ; (3) the institution is a domestic nonprofit (exempt under 26 USC 501), (d) the applicant's research funding source is a domestic nonprofit or government entity, and (4) your institutional base salary. |
What is the role of a research supervisor or principal investigator (PI) in the LRP application?
The research supervisor or PI is sent a username and password by e-mail and must log into the LRP Website to complete the "
Assessment of Research Activities." This form allows your supervisor or PI to concur with your research project and
to provide your training or mentoring plan and detailed information about the lab where you will be conducting research. The supervisor or PI is also asked to provide his/her
biosketch and a recommendation for the applicant.
|
Should I remove extra recommenders from my application?
No. As long as three recommendation forms available on line are submitted, incomplete recommendations will not adversely impact your application.
|
What happens if I miss the application deadline?
If you miss the deadline you must wait until the next annual application cycle to apply.
|
When I print my application forms the margin is cut off. How do I correct that?
Change your printing orientation in "page setup" from portrait to landscape to print the complete form.
|
How do I join the e-mail List Serve for LRP updates?
Click here to sign up for the NIH LRP Listserv.
|
How do I upload a replacement Research Project document?
Until you submit the research activities form, you can upload replacement documents. However, the Research Activities form is locked once you submit it.
Your research supervisor or PI has access to review that form and approve it - or upload a
replacement file. An alternative is for your PI to approve a revised form and forward it to LRP@nih.gov for uploading.
|
May I submit application forms by e-mail or fax?
No. The LRP application process requires that all forms (including recommendations) be completed online.
