I expect it’s just a difference in SOPs between the two ICs. If you have your summary statement, you can check in with the NIDDK PO on next steps (if you should write a short rebuttal, advice for crafting next submission). At NCI, you can ask about resubmission strategy (unless that was an RFA or PAR, in which case programmatic interest may play a role).

Um, it may be BICO, but it’s not *that* cold outside (not yet anyway). I am in the US, though not terribly far from the Canadian border. Thank you so much for the kind words – I am glad you find the site useful (keep hoping I’ll have more time to post instructive items), which is largely due to the daily contributions of so many of your peers in the trenches. Best wishes for success with your own proposals, manuscripts, and research program!

(but sure, NIH only cares about federal sources of salary. there are puh-lenty of senior scientists getting paid salaries that exceed the NIH cap and those have to come from nonfederal funds. not seeing how your example would be any different. now, the local University might have rules against it…)

When you change mechanisms, it becomes a new application. This means no introduction, the old Summary Statement isn’t given to reviewers, and you get two submission chances. It would be helpful to talk to your Program Officer for the R21 to see if the R15 would be a good mechanism.
This particular page doesn’t get a lot of postings.

3. When an unfunded application that was reviewed for a particular
research grant mechanism (for example, R01) is to be submitted
for a different grant mechanism (for example, R03), it is to be
prepared as a NEW application.

Am I reading this correctly?? Am I posting this ?? in the right place??

Thanks for the wonderful resource

So I just got a score of 39 and 35% tile in the first round of R01(NCI). Although new investigator, I know its off. When is the resubmission possible?

Thanks
