My guess is that R29 is still an active code because there are old FIRST awards out there that haven't ended yet.  I believe that NIH is not awarding any *new* R29's.

Hello all-
I have a postdoc who asked me to search out funding opportunities, and she
specified the R29 FIRST award as one she is interested in.  I did some
searching and found seemingly conflicting information.  A notice from Dec
1997 (http://grants2.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not97-238.html)
states that NIH will no longer be accepting proposals under R29 (effective
June 1998) and suggest using the R01 mechanism for new investigators.
However, a 2002 activity codes list has R29 as a currently active code.  Am
I misinterpreting this information?  If anyone can give me a heads-up I
would appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Amy
