[FUN_Mail] R15 Information

[Judith Ogilvie]

Here's what I've learned from my colleagues:

...for NIGMS and other participating institutes (NIDCR, NHGRI, NIAID, NLM, and NCI), they have now changed the eligibility. In the past, any college/school with a total NIH funding less than 6 million was eligible, but now in addition to that, the college/school has to be mainly undergraduate, i.e., more undergradaute enrollment than graduate/professional enrollment. So small medical schools are no longer eligible. I believe this might be beneficial for most of us, as we do not have to compete with those medical schools for R15 funding, and undergraduate research is an important part of our emphasis anyway. Whether other institutes will continue to fund R15 is not clear.

Subject: [FUN_Mail] R15 Information

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?
