| Number Type | Stage | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Type 1* | New | Initial request for support of a project that has not yet been funded. |
| Type 2* | Renewal |
Initial request for additional funding for a period subsequent to that provided by a current award.
Renewal applications compete for funding with all other peer reviewed applications and must be
developed as fully as though the applicant is applying for the first time. (Previously
referred to as “competing continuation.”) If your renewal and subsequent resubmission of renewal application are not funded, you must use the "new" application type to compete for additional funding and continuity with your previous award will not be retained. |
| Type 3* | Competing Revision |
Initial request for (or the award of) additional funds during a current project period to support new
or additional activities that are not identified in the current award. This request reflects an
expansion of the scope of the grant-approved activities. Competitive revisions require peer review.
(Competing revision replaces the previous NIH term, "competing supplement.")
Learn about submission requirements for competing revisions.An administrative supplement is a request for (or the award of) additional funds during a current project period to provide for an increase in costs due to unforeseen circumstances. All additional costs must be within the scope of the peer reviewed and approved project. Learn about submission requirements for administrative supplements. |
| Type 4 | Extension | Request for additional years of support beyond the years previously awarded. (Used only for select programs.) |
| Type 5 | Noncompeting Continuation |
Request or award for a subsequent budget period within a previously approved project for which a
recipient does not have to compete with other applications.
Learn more about Research Performance Progress Reports. |
| Type 6 | Change of Organization Status (Successor-in-Interest) |
Process whereby the rights to and obligations under an NIH grant(s) are acquired incidental to the
transfer of all of the assets of the recipient or the transfer of that part of the assets involved
in the performance of the grant(s). May result from legislative or other legal action, such as a
merger or other corporate change.
Learn more about changes in recipient organizational status in Section 8.1.2.8 of the NIH Grants Policy Statement. |
| Type 7 | Change of Recipient or Training Institution |
Transfer of the legal and administrative responsibility for a grant-supported project or activity
from one legal entity to another before the completion date of the approved project period
(competitive segment).
Learn more about changes of recipient organization in Section 8.1.2.7 of the NIH Grants Policy Statement. |
| Type 8 | Change of Institute or Center | Change of awarding NIH institute or center for the noncompeting continuation (Type 5). |
| Type 9 | Change of Institute or Center | Change of awarding NIH institute or center for the renewal (Type 2). |
| * Resubmission | An unfunded application that has been modified following initial review and resubmitted for new consideration. Learn more about resubmission policies and application requirements. | |
