NIGMS released its Program Announcement for the MBRS Research Initiative for Scientific Enhancement (RISE, PAR-06-548) on September 11, 2006. The announcement provides for three cycles per year of receipt, peer review, and council review. The respective dates are listed on separate lines for receipt, peer review and council review. This notice changes the sequence of the dates to so that the January Receipt/Peer Review/Council Review cycle corresponds to the first entry in each line, the May cycle corresponds to the second, and September cycle the third. Thus the correct sequence is:

Application Submission/Receipt Date(s): January 16, 2007-2010; May 15, 2007-2010; September 18, 2007-2010
Peer Review Date(s): June-July, October-November, and February-March
Council Review Date(s): October, January, May
