The NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) named above want to clarify an inconsistency in the project period described for funding opportunity announcement (FOA) PA-11-009. The text in the Executive Summary on page 2 should read:

Budget and Project Period.  Direct costs of up to $200,000 per year and project duration of up to five years may be requested. 

This will be consistent with the description in the Executive Summary under the Purpose which states "(up to five years for this award)" and in Section II under the Mechanism of Support which states "Candidates may request up to five years of support".

All other aspects of the FOA remain unchanged. For Frequently Asked Questions see http://www.nigms.nih.gov/initiatives/PGRN/CTSAscholars as directed in the announcement.
