I have heard nothing about established investigators being limited to four years nor have any of our grants management specialists.

Colleagues:

We had one NIH institute that indicated at the time of award for
established investigators R01 award funding is limited to four years,
while new investigators continue to be eligible for five years of
funding.  I now have investigators across campus who believe that NIH
has limited R01 applications to four years, but I don't think I ever saw
an NIH notice to this effect.  I want my investigators to apply for the
appropriate funding, whether that is 3, 4, or 5 years, did I miss
something.

Can anyone provide insight on the validity of investigator's limiting
their budget's to four years.

Kris
