Purpose

The purpose of this Notice is to inform applicants to the NIH R21 Trailblazer, PAR-24-022, that the Special Exception to Post-Submission of preliminary data during the COVID-19 Pandemic will not apply to applications submitted to PAR-24-022.

A distinct feature for the Trailblazer FOA is that no preliminary data are required, expected, or encouraged, however, if available, minimal preliminary data, limited to one-half page, are allowed only in the original submission. Trailblazer approaches are expected to differ substantially from current thinking or practice, therefore, extensive preliminary data demonstrating feasibility is an indication that the project is beyond the scope of the FOA. Due to the special preliminary data limitations for applications submitted to the Trailblazer Funding Opportunity Announcement (PAR-24-022), post submission of preliminary data will not be allowed for NIBIB Trailblazer applications.
