* The move to electronic applications also has brought a change in terminology. The new Grants.gov terminology (included in the table above) corresponds to traditional National Institutes of Health (NIH) terms as follows:

  • New = new.
  • Resubmission = a revised or amended application.
  • Renewal = Competing Continuation.
  • Continuation = Noncompeting Progress Report.
  • Revision = Competing Supplement.

Note: For RFA application receipt dates, please check the individual grant solicitation.
