[FUN_Mail] R15 Information

[Margaret Gill]

As many of you submit grants via the parent R15 AREA mechanism (PA-18-504) I thought that I’d pass along information that I received from my program officer that this parent mechanism will be ending in January. At the current time I cannot find anything written about this happening, so I’d assume others have not heard about it either. I was told IC’s will decide in January whether to write their own announcement, or sign on to the NIGMS R15 (PAR-18-714). For those who have submitted R15’s, you are probably aware of the issues surrounding the R15 mechanism (eg. being evaluated in the same study sections as R01s, or according to NIH RePORT, the majority of the R15 awards are going to larger academic institutions with graduate students). If we can band together through FUN, does anyone know how feasible it would be for us to influence the process given that some IC’s are re-writing the R15 PA’s?
