Competitive Revision Applications

Application Deadline: April 21, 2009

Note that revision applications (formerly called competitive supplements) will support a significant expansion of the scope or research protocol of approved and funded projects. Supplements (up to 2 years) will support research objectives and aims that are outside the scope of an approved parent grant; they are not revised applications for funding.

There is no limit on the amount of funding requested, other than that requests for equipment within the revision application cannot exceed $100,000.

Funding decisions and awards will be issued on or prior to September 30, 2009 for applications submitted in response to this notice, and on or prior to September 30, 2010 for applications submitted in response to any reissuance (if any) of this notice.

To be eligible, the parent grant must be active at the time the revision application is submitted, and the research proposed in the revision must be accomplished within the current competitive segment. That is, the period of support requested for the revision (up to two years for FY09 applications) cannot exceed the current project period end date of the parent grant, including projects on a no-cost extension.
