Charlie's point is well taken. I think at least one of the lessons here
is to read carefully any special instructions attached to a particular
PA or RFA. Also, the instructions for the SF 424 are still in flux. One
of the advantages of electronic documents is that one can change and
edit them on the fly; the disadvantage of this is obvious: how do we
know what was changed and when?

Re: Abstract vs Narrative discussion last week (sort of)

Bibliography & References Cited attachments in an NIH proposal.

NIH Gg Guide V2, Part I, Section 4.4.8 says, "Provide a bibliography of
any references cited in the Project Narrative".

I just came kinda close to submitting a proposal with references stuck
in the appendix because the administrative person preparing the PureEdge
file knew that there were no references cited in the 2-3 sentences about
relevance.   !!!!

I know, if you read everything you will see, 2 paragraphs down, next to
the NIH icon, that it explains that this section is to be used (as most
have assumed) for the former "Literature Cited" section.  Still, should
we be able to trust topic sentences?

[Also...I'm not sure if this was brought out last week : there have
been cases (i.e. Shared Instrumentation Grants) in which the "Project
Narrative" section in an NIH electronic proposal WAS used for the full
project write-up.]
