Linked Research project Grant (RL1)
To support a discrete, specified, circumscribed project that is administratively linked to another project or projects, and to be performed by the named investigator(s) in an area representing his or her specific interest and competencies. An RL1 award may only be disaggregated from U54 application and organizations may not apply for an RL1, Linked Research Project Grant. The RL1 activity code is used in Lieu of the R01 for those programs that offer linked awards.
Special Considerations
- Are you an early stage investigator (ESI)?
- If all the PD/PIs on an R01 (or R01-equivalent, including RL1) application have ESI status on the date an application is submitted, the application will be flagged as ESI and will receive special consideration during the review and funding process. See Early Stage Investigator (ESI) Policies to learn more.
