This Notice informs prospective applicants for the Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Training grants and Non-NRSA Institutional Training grants, that the required plans for instruction in the Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) will have page limits separate from the page limits for the Research Training Program Plan Component. Specifically:
- SF 424 (R&R), Section 8.7 - Research Training Program Plan Component: combined items 2.2 (Background), 2.3 (Program Plan), and 2.4 (Recruitment and Retention Plan to Enhance Diversity) will be limited to 25 pages.
- The plan for instruction in RCR (Item 2.5) will no longer be included in the 25 page limit for the Research Training Program Plan Component. Rather, the plan for instruction in RCR will now have its own separate page limit, and will be limited to 3 pages.
