What are the page limits for P50 center grant applications and P20 exploratory grant applications?
For P50 applications, an expanded page limit of up to 40 pages will be allowed for a description of the research plan (sections a-d of the PHS 398 application form). The description should include the overall theme and aims of the center, the elements that will comprise the center and how they will be integrated, as well as specific research aims, design and methodologies, data analysis and dissemination plans. Up to 15 additional pages will be allowed to describe the organizational structure of the center, management plans and plans for training activities. Additional pages can be used for the other required sections (e.g. the inclusion of women, minorities and children, and human subjects protections). Each individual section should be clearly labeled. For the P20 applications, the regular PHS 398 instructions should be followed (with a page limit of 25 pages total for sections a-d of the research plan).
