How Early Stage Investigators Can Request an Extension
Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) are New Investigators who are within ten
years of completing their terminal research degree or within ten years of
completing their medical residency. In some cases, there may have been
one or more lapse in the period of research or research training after the
terminal degree or the completion of medical residency. A
new NIH Guide Notice describes the procedures for requesting an extension
of the ESI period and the conditions under which such extensions will be considered.
NOTE: As we mentioned in last month’s Nexus, please be sure to update your
profile within eRA Commons so
your terminal research degree or residency completion date is accurate and
the system can identify your ESI eligibility.
