Re: R01's Limited to Four Years for Established Investigators Aull, Robert M 31 May 2007 10:12 EST
I believe this refers to NIDDK's by-now-long-standing policy with regard to grant support duration and should not be extrapolated to other NIH institutes: http://www2.niddk.nih.gov/Funding/Grants/FundingPolicy.htm Duration of Grant Support Competing awards are adjusted to achieve a 4 year average duration for research project grants. Nevertheless, applications from new investigators, initial MERIT awards, MERIT extensions, program project grants, and clinical trial grants are generally awarded for the full length of their recommended project period. I can't remember if they were the same institute that changed all their type 5 applications to renew within the same month(s)?

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.
