Purpose
This document describes National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research’s (NIDCR) implementation of the NIH policy requiring research applications that request $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one year (excluding consortium facilities and administrative (F&A) costs) to obtain documented approval from the institute stating that it will accept a research application for initial peer review. This policy applies to new, resubmission, renewal, and revision applications.
