This is a change to the Program Announcement "Gene Discovery for
Complex Neurological and Neurobehavioral Disorders". The text in the
SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS and SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODULAR GRANT
APPLICATIONS sections has been replaced by the following:
SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS: All instructions for the PHS 398 (rev.
5/2001) must be followed, with these exceptions:
o Research Plan
For R21 applications only, items a d of the Research Plan (Specific
Aims, Background and Significance, Preliminary Studies, and Research
Design and Methods) may not exceed a total of 15 pages. No preliminary
data is required for R21 proposals, but may be included if it is
available. Please note that a Progress Report is not needed for R21
awards; competing continuation applications for an
exploratory/developmental grant will not be accepted.
Appendix. Use the instructions for the appendix detailed in the PHS
398 except that for R21 applications, no more than 5 manuscripts,
previously accepted for publication, may be included.
SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODULAR GRANT APPLICATIONS: Applications
requesting up to $250,000 per year in direct costs must be submitted in
the modular grant format. The modular grant format simplifies the
preparation of the budget in these applications by limiting the level
of budgetary detail. Applicants request direct costs in $25,000
modules. Section C of the research grant application instructions for
the PHS 398 (rev. 5/2001) at
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/funding/phs398/phs398.html includes step-
by-step guidance for preparing modular grants. Additional information
on modular grants is available at
