Notice Number: NOT-DA-10-029

Key Dates

Release Date: October 4, 2010

Issued by

National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

Purpose

The National Institute on Drug Abuse is issuing this Notice to clarify that applicants for the NIDA Avant-Garde Award for HIV/AIDS should note that the X02 pre-application (PAR-10-287 (X02)) requires (NIH policy) the inclusion of a one page Specific Aims.

However, the one page Specific Aims should not be included in the DP1 Application (RFA-DA-11-002 (DP1)). The 5 page Essay section should be essentially the same in both the X02 and DP1 submissions, therefore, X02 applicants are strongly urged to avoid making reference to the Specific Aims in the Essay.
