This would not be a renewal.  A renewal would be an application to the same solicitation for funding to further develop and build on the research/project.  If the funding stream or solicitation is different that previously awarded, it is considered a new application, rather than a renewal.

Hello all!

I have a PI who wants some clarification.  He is submitting a proposal
to NSF and is unsure of whether or not it qualifies as a "renewal" and
if it does, if it is even beneficial to mark it as so.  The original
funded grant was in response to an NSF solicitation. The new proposal
will be submitted to the same division, but not to the same solicitation
family.  The new proposal is not a continuation of the work funded by
the original grant but very heavily builds upon the research conducted
in the original, funded grant. There is also a time lag; the original
funded grant ended in September of 07.

The PI and I are both leaning toward this NOT being a renewal, but with
it being an unclear area, we wanted the input of some seasoned veterans.
Opinions?

The NSF GPG guidance on renewals - quoted below - wasn't particularly
helpful.

"A renewal proposal is a request for additional funding for a support
period subsequent to that provided by a

standard or continuing grant. A renewal proposal competes with all other
pending proposals and must be

submitted at least six months before additional funding is required or
consistent with an established deadline,

target date or submission window. In preparing a renewal proposal,
proposers should assume that reviewers

will not have access to previously submitted versions of the proposal."

Thanks in advance. :-)
