Submitting an Application

Important Notice: Beginning October 1, 2006, all R25T applications should be submitted electronically through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov), using the SF424 Research and Related (R&R) forms and guide.

The R25T Program Announcement contains all instructions, information and links to documents and sources of information needed to submit an application for the R25T Award. Before submitting an application for the R25T Award, please read all information and follow the instructions found at the beginning of the R25T Program Announcement. When you select the link "Apply for Grant Electronically", you will be directed to the Grants.gov application download page. Please carefully read each paragraph on this page, in sequence, to avoid errors that may delay the application process.

Application Receipt Dates and Review Schedule

 Application Receipt Date: New, Renewal*, Revision*, and Resubmission* Initial Review Date Council Review Date Earliest Possible Start Date **
Receipt Cycle 1 January 25 June/July September/ October December
Receipt Cycle 2 May 25 October/November January/ February April
Receipt Cycle 3 September 25 February/March May/June July

* The move to electronic applications also has brought a change in terminology. The new Grants.gov terminology (included in the table above) corresponds to traditional NIH terms as follows:

  • New = new
  • Resubmission = a revised or amended application
  • Renewal = Competing Continuation
  • Continuation = Progress Report
  • Revision = Competing Supplement

If the application receipt date falls on a weekend, the application must be postmarked by the application receipt date and received at the Center for Scientific Review (CSR) by the following Monday.

If the application receipt date falls on a holiday, (but not on a weekend), the application must be postmarked by the application receipt date and received at CSR by the following day.

** Start dates are determined by the availability of NCI funds and may not occur until well after the earliest possible start date.
