New NIH Schedule for the "next cycle submission option"

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:37:12 -0700

To give New Investigators who wish to use the consecutive review cycle option more time to prepare their resubmission (A1) application, NIH is changing the schedule for release of summary statements for the initial R01 (A0) applications and the due date for the next cycle resubmission. The new schedule will begin for initial R01 (A0) applications submitted for the June 5, 2011 due date and reviewed in the fall 2011 Study Section meetings. The recurring Study Sections for the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) will meet on a schedule to allow consecutive cycle resubmissions.

Health Research Funding - A New Opportunity For Unfunded Research Projects

Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:36:33 -0700

Health Research Funding is a new pathway designed to bring researchers with peer-reviewed, worthwhile, unfunded projects together with patient advocacy organizations and other funding sources.

Researchers with promising projects that have been scored but not funded by the NIH are invited to submit their abstracts. By registering, you will be able to search for information about organizations that fund research and their requests for abstracts. Also, researchers with proposals that have been peer-reviewed but not funded by a NHC member patient advocacy organization may also register.
