Do I need to include preliminary data in my Epigenomics of Disease application?
Preliminary data are not required, but may be included in your Epigenomics of Disease application. Reviewers will be focusing on the conceptual framework and the likely impact of the project as well as the feasibility of accomplishing the aims. Reviewers and NIH staff will evaluate your preliminary data (if any), your track record, and the logic of the experimental plan to determine the likelihood that what you are proposing to do will succeed. If you have no preliminary data, be sure that the logic of the experimental plan is sufficiently compelling to convince reviewers and staff of its feasibility.
