Re: final technical reports for NIH projects under competitive renewal Donahue, Sherie (LLU) 17 Sep 2008 10:50 EST
In a similar situation, one of our PI's was directed by his NIH program director not to close out the project while waiting for the new grant to come through. I think that it has something to do with how many years of continuous funding and how that looks to reviewers.

A truly final technical report and/or grant closeout would not be appropriate so long the investigator has a pending application with the same grant number (through the -A2 designation).

I cannot think of a reason how submitting a final progress report can be detrimental to the project's likelihood to be funded in the new cycle. Has anyone experienced any problems with closing grants and then getting a renewal funded? I am asking because some PIs are not comfortable with the idea of closing their grants while they are hoping that their competitive renewal to be funded. Thanks so much for your inputs.
