New for 2008 - In order to clarify the CDMRP Program Announcements and
proposal submission process, CDMRP has divided these documents into the
following:
1) Program Announcement - contains all program information, scientific
proposal components, and peer review criteria.
2) Application Instructions - contains instructions and detailed
information on all pre-application and proposal requirements, including
directions for Grants.gov submissions. This document also contains
Regulatory Requirements and Award Administration information.
Each Application Instruction document will only apply to the specific
award mechanism listed; however this document is intended to be utilized
in conjunction with the PA.
