  1. NIH Restructured Application Forms Wake Forest University Health Sciences Office of ResearchNovember 12, 2009Ryan Favreau

  2. What • New, restructured versions of the paper PHS 398 and electronic SF 424 (R&R) application packages and instructions will be available in December 2009. • Changes include significantly shorter page limits and restructured application packages.  These changes will affect all competing applications submitted to NIH, as follows:

  3. What cont… • all applications electronically submitted using application packages that combine the SF 424 (R&R) with PHS 398 components; • all electronically submitted Individual NRSA Fellowship applications using application packages that combine the SF 424 (R&R) with the PHS Fellowship Supplemental Form; and • all applications using the paper PHS 398 application package.

  4. Timing • All new or resubmission applications targeting due dates on or after January 25, 2010 (for FY2011 funding consideration) must use the new application forms and instructions (even if the initial submission followed the current application forms and instructions)

  5. New Application Structure and Length • The page limit for the new Research Strategy section will be 6 or 12 pages. • One additional page will be allowed for Specific Aims.  • For resubmission and revision applications for most programs, the Introduction will be limited to one page. • As always, if the FOA requires page limits that differ from the application instructions, the FOA page limits should be followed.

  7. Research Plan vs. Research Strategy

  8.  Resources • The Facilities and Other Resources section is changed to require a description of how the scientific environment will contribute to the probability of success of the project, unique features of the environment, and for Early Stage Investigators, the institutional investment in the success of the investigator (e.g. resources, classes, etc.).

  9. Biographical Sketch • A new Personal Statement will be incorporated as Part A, changing the parts formerly called A, B, and C to Parts B, C, and D.  • Applicants should limit the list of selected peer-reviewed publications to no more than 15, selected on the basis of recency, importance to the field, and relevance to the proposed research. • Each application is likely to have its own unique formatting/content relevant to the application.

  10. Why all the changes?? • Current grant application is the longest among funding agencies and foundations worldwide. • Will reduce administrative burden placed on applicants, reviewers and staff. • Will focus on the essentials of the science. • Will align the structure and content of the application with review criteria. • Will ensure a more efficient and transparent review process.

  11. Need more?? • Restructured application forms • NOT-OD-09-149 • Transition to electronic applications • NOT-OD-10-008 - T32, T35, K12 • What mechanism(s) remain in the transition to the electronic format?

  12. Questions? • Clear as mud? • Contact your Grants Administrator in the Office of Research for your Department or call 62382.
