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.
