This notice clarifies Notice OD-06-013 (http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-013.html), Pilot Study to Shorten the Review Cycle for New Investigator R01 Applications. The special receipt date in the pilot for any given amended R01* application (an R01 application from an individual that meets the NIH definition of a new investigator) is a one time opportunity to submit on the 20th of March, July, or November. If a new investigator in the pilot decides not to submit for the very next cycle, the investigator may submit an amended application on the standard dates for amended applications (March 1, July 1, or November 1). Should a second amendment be submitted that too would be eligible for a one time window of opportunity to be submitted for the very next cycle.

Specifically, a new investigator who has an application reviewed in one of the participating study sections in the May/June time frame may choose to submit an amended application for the July 20 special expedited resubmission date or the investigator may choose to submit an amended application on a subsequent standard resubmission date (November 1, March 1, or July 1). This will continue for each cycle that the pilot is in place.
