I am a New Investigator/Early Stage Investigator (ESI), but this designation does not appear when I view the grant folder in the NIH Commons. How can I correct the information?
The parameters for identifying New Investigators are described in the definition of New Investigator that appears on the New Investigator Webpage. The first step in making sure that you are correctly designated as a New or Early Stage Investigator is to go into your NIH Commons Profile and make sure the degree completion and/or the end of residency date has been correctly entered. If the Profile screens indicate that you are a New Investigator or and ESI, that information should be correctly assigned to any R01 or DP2 application that you submit in the future. If you believe that your ESI eligibility window needs to be extended because of a lapse in your research or research training, you can request an extension using the instructions on the New Investigator Webpage. If you have already submitted an application that doesn’t reflect your current New Investigator or ESI status, you can send a note to the helpdesk to request a correction of the new PI/ESI status for the submitted applica
