How many pages are allowed in the research plan?
The page limit for the research plan is 15 pages. This PAR is participating in a NIH CSR pilot to shorten grant applications. This places additional burden on investigators to prepare applications that are extremely clear and succinct, while still including all the necessary details to help the reviewers understand the projects. If you are resubmitting an R01 proposal that was previously submitted to NIH in a 25 page format, you must reduce your research plan to 15 pages to respond to this PAR.
