How will Epigenomics of Disease applications be reviewed?
After they are received, applications will be evaluated by NIH review and program staff for responsiveness to the RFA and compliance with the instructions as well as for relevance to the missions of NIH institutes and Centers. If an application is not in the specified format outlined in the Epigenomics of Disease RFA, includes prohibited information, or the project is not germane to the mission of any of the NIH Institutes or Centers, the application will be administratively withdrawn before review. Note that your application may be withdrawn because of lack of NIH Institute relevance, even if staff from one of the Institutes or Centers expressed tentative interest in the project before you submitted your application. If this situation occurs, it is because staff based their earlier opinion on the information that you supplied before submission, which did not accurately reflect the content of the application.
