Are there special review criteria for renewal (Type 2) applications?
The review criteria shown in E.1. above will apply to all competing applications including renewal and resubmissionapplications. A renewal submitted as a multiple-PI application requesting support for a project that was previously supported through a single-PI award should state the changes in the project’s direction and management that led the PIs to now propose the multiple-PI model, and state how the research will be enhanced through the multiple-PI approach. In addition, a Leadership Plan should be provided (see D.2. above).
