More information: Fund to Sustain Research Excellence Applications due August 1, 2013 Investigators that have recently submitted a non-mentored NIH grant application that was scored (un-scored applications will not be accepted), but just missed the payline, are eligible to apply for funding. Applicants must be in need of support and have a potentially fundable R01 or similar non-mentored NIH grant, application can not be based on an A1 submission. R03, R21, F32 and ARRA Grants will not be eligible. ARRA Grants Criteria for selection will include need and scientific merit.
