For 3 strikes rule, see:
http://www.nih.gov/grants/guide/1997/97.06.27/notice-nih-policy-on7.html

Grants are not submitted to different study sections or institutes...rather
they all go to the CSR.
Therefore, it is not really acceptable to send the same application again.
You could change the title and it might work.  But chances are that the
science is suspect and it should really be heavily revised. I hate to say
it, but "proposal was timely, staffing was adequate" sounds like those nice
weak phrases between which one should read "FORGET IT".
