  • 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.
