Applicants may not simultaneously submit identical/essentially identical applications under more than one HHS funding opportunity announcement. If an application did not receive an award as a result of the previous Request for Applications, an application on the same topic that is being submitted to a corresponding reissued FOA mentioned above, must be prepared as a resubmission/amended version. Such an application must include an Introduction and mark the text to show changes. If a new application has been submitted for a standard submission date and the applicant would prefer to respond to the reissued Request for Applications, then the new application must be withdrawn prior to the submission of a resubmission application.

The following additional review criteria will be used when evaluating the scientific and technical merit of a resubmitted application:

  1. Are the responses to comments from the previous scientific review group adequate?
  2. Are the improvements in the resubmission application appropriate?
