Beginning with the review of applications submitted for the October

1, 1994 receipt date, all National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)

initial review groups/study sections will triage investigator-

initiated research project grant applications (R01, R03, R29 and

P01).  Reviewers will be instructed to designate approximately half

of the applications as "noncompetitive" for support.  A designation

of "noncompetitive requires unanimous agreement of the study section.



For this purpose, "noncompetitive" means that, with respect to

scientific and technical merit, the applications are judged to be in

the lower half of research project applications usually reviewed by

that study section.  Applications determined to be "noncompetitive"

will not receive full discussion at the study section meeting, will

not receive a priority score, and will not routinely be further

reviewed by the national advisory councils/boards.



The summary statement for an application determined to be

"noncompetitive" will consist of the customary administrative

information and the reviewers' verbatim critiques.  The summary

statement for a competitive application that receives full discussion

and a score will include, in addition to the reviewers' critiques and

the administrative information, a "Resume and Summary of Discussion,"

which synopsizes the study section's discussion of the application.



Subsequent to the study section meeting, all applicants will continue

to receive the snap-out mailer that advises them of the outcome of

the initial review.
