If I am
currently a PI on a K01 Award am I eligible for the STP? No. You are not eligible to apply to the STP, but you could apply for the IRP or the PSRP. |
| 4 |
If I
received an R03 award, am I eligible for the STP? Based on the guidelines you are not eligible to apply to the STP, because you are already a recipient of an NIH award. However, you are eligible to apply for the IRP or the PSRP if the projects are distinct (i.e. no scientific or budgetary overlap). |
| 4 |
If I
was a recipient from the last Combined Intramural Grants Program (CIGP)
submission cycle, would I be eligible to apply for a competitive renewal
under the new PSRP? Yes. You are eligible to submit a competitive renewal to the PSRP, because the CIGP program was replaced with the PSRP. |

A faculty member
can submit a maximum of two proposals to the IRP but must show
that there is no budgetary and/or scientific overlap between the
two projects.

In order to submit an IRP proposal, is involvement of human subjects material required? Yes. Research projects must involve human subjects material and intend to enhance the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a clinically relevant disorder. |

I have listed two mentors in my proposal instead
of one. Will each mentor be required to commit 10% effort individually
(10% +10%) or collectively (5% +5%) ? Each mentor listed on the grant must commit individually 10% effort. |
| 4 |
If
my proposed mentor has a 9-month faculty contract, can he/she be allowed
to commit less than the required 10% effort? No. The faculty member with the 9-month contract must commit 10% effort during the months the contract is active. |

On my budget request, what is the maximum amount
allowed for equipment?
A maximum request of $25k is allowable with strong justification. Equipment over that amount must be purchased from other resources.
A statement indicating why "start-up" or other funds
(departmental) could not be used for such an expenditure and to
clearly delineate why/how the piece of equipment is "essential"
for conducting the studies proposed in the application.
