Can revised applications be submitted for the new award mechanisms?
No. All Exploratory/Developmental Research Award and California Research Award applications submitted in the upcoming funding cycle must be submitted as new applications. A revision statement should not be included. This applies even if you submitted a Research Project application last year that was not funded and you plan to propose an identical or similar project under one of the new award mechanisms. Your Summary Statement of reviewer comments will not be available to the reviewers. However, you can and should feel free to incorporate reviewer suggestions from the previous year into your Research Plan if you feel this will improve your grant application. Revised applications may be submitted only for previously-existing mechanisms. In 2009 these include the Dissertation Award, Postdoctoral Fellowship, New Investigator Award, and the community participatory awards (CARAs and SARAs).
