In the past, it has been common practice for applicants responding to

Requests for Applications (RFA) issued by the National Institute of

Dental Research (NIDR) or the National Institute on Aging (NIA) for

specialized research centers grants (P50) to amend unfunded

applications and submit them as unsolicited program project grant

(P01) applications.  Alternatively, subprojects from unfunded P50

grant applications have been amended and submitted as applications

for other support mechanisms such as research project grants (R01) or

small grants (R03).  The NIDR accepts both R01 and R03 applications;

the NIA does not accept R03s.



Applicants responding to RFA DE-92-02, Research Centers on Oral

Health in Aging (NIH GUIDE, Vol. 21, No. 10, March 13, 1992) or RFA

DE-92-03, Periodontal Diseases Research Centers (NIH GUIDE, Vol. 21,

No. 12, March 27, 1992) should be aware that, because of fiscal

constraints, it is unlikely that the NIDR or the NIA will be able to

fund P01 grant applications resulting from the amendment of unfunded

P50 applications submitted in response to RFA DE-92-02 or RFA

DE-92-03.  Submission of program project applications with goals

similar to those included in either of these RFAs is discouraged.

However, applicants are encouraged to amend promising subprojects

from unfunded P50 applications and apply for support under other

grant mechanisms.
