Re: Resubmitting a proposal to NIH Elsa Nadler 19 Jun 2006 18:53 EST
We are also working on a resubmission of a PA that was replaced. We are using the current g.g package an including a cover letter explaining the issue. The proposal is also clearly marked resubmission in the SF424 forms. [There is no generic SF424 in g.g.] The issue of the cover letter vs. introduction, I do not know. We are going with the three page introduction section that directly precedes the narrative in order to respond to reviewer critiques. This cannot be done in one page. The cover letter, on the other hand, can easily be one page and is the attachment in the optional "cover letter file"; it gives the old PA and explains that the original was replaced recently. hope this helps...does anyone have anything to add?

Is there a 'generic' SF424 form that can be used? The current "CFDA-specific" form is for a newer release of (basically the same) NIH/NIAMS PAR. The proposal to be submitted is a resubmission of a proposal originally submitted about 18 months ago; the proposal has been revised to respond to the concerns expressed in the initial peer review. There is one element that's different between the current and previous version of the PAR, and this raises another question. As the previous version contained no PAR-specific limitations to the "Introductory Letter" that is to accompany a resubmitted proposal it seems reasonable that the 'default' value applies: 3 pages. The current version states that the letter cannot exceed one page. If anyone has had experience in dealing with this dilemma I'd be grateful for advice concerning this question also.
