What does NIDDK do when a new PI applicants misses the R01 payline?
NIDDK has a payline that is two percentile points more generous for new PIs. In addition, if a new investigator’s R01 application is within 10 percentile points of the payline, it will receive enhanced second-level review for a reduced budget R01 or for a High Priority, Short-Term Project Award (R56). Your NIDDK Program Officer can also provide guidance and feedback about the review, which might help you as you prepare to revise your grant.
