Here's what the Parent R21 says about the appendix materials:
 
  • R21 appendix materials should be limited, as is consistent with the exploratory nature of the R21 mechanism. The following materials may be included in the Appendix:

    Debbie et al, what about the idea of cutting the intro to the bare necessities and then including the full (3 page) intro in the appendix?  Has anyone done that?
    thanks

    I am telling my folks that if their program officer says they can submit 3 pages for the intro, they should cut it to one for the electronic submission and send the revised intro later.  If they don't cut it to one page now, it will not go in and will never get to the program officer!

    Ah ha — so R 21s are shorter in length for both the research plan and the introduction. That sort of makes sense. :o)
     
    It is correct that PA instrux trump the general, but what a pain. The "Follow page limitations as specified in PAs and RFAs" instruction is immediately below the page limitations for the research plan, not the intro instrux. Arghh!! Lesson is, as Charlie says, PA instructions trump the SF424 guide!
     
    Oh well. Happy midweek.

    The following is from the Parent Application, PA-06-181.  Unfortunately,
    it contradicts the SF 424 R&R Application Guide.  I have a new
    investigator whose program officer told her three pages was allowed, so
    I appreciate the advance warning!


    PA-06-181

    Application Characteristics

    All application instructions outlined in the SF424 (R&R) application are
    to be followed, with the following requirements for R21 applications:

    R21 applications will use the modular budget format and "Just-in-Time"
    concepts, with direct costs requested in $25,000 modules, up to the
    total direct costs limitation of $275,000 over an R21 two-year period.
    No more than $200,000 in direct costs will be allowed in any single
    year.

    Items 2-5 of the Research Plan of the R21 application may not exceed 15
    pages, including tables, graphs, figures, diagrams, and charts.

    Introduction (required for a resubmission application) is limited to one
    page.

    Preliminary data are not required but may be included if available.

    Another issue for the revised R21:

    We just submitted a revised R21 and it bounced back with an error
    stating that the introduction can not be more than 1 PAGE. This is
    incorrect. As far as I know, the PI still has 3 pages for their intro.
    The SF 424 R&R Application Guide also confirms the three page limit
    (page I-18). I sent an e-mail to the help desk regarding this issue. Has
    any one else received this error?

    We have an investigator resubmitting an R21 for July 1 who has raised an
    interesting question regarding the Introduction in the SF424RR.  She and
    others in the past have typically referenced page numbers in the
    Research Plan to note some changes or revisions.  Since page numbers are
    now not allowed, any suggestions as to how to handle this?

    Thanks in advance.  The collective talent and wisdom on this LISTSERV is
    greatly appreciated.
