NIAID Extends Eligibility for submission of K99/R00 Applications due to COVID related Disruptions
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has extended eligibility for submission of K99/R00 applications due to COVID-related disruptions. Though subject to future updates, NIAID now will provide a 2-receipt cycle extension (roughly 8 additional months) of eligibility for individuals who were eligible to apply for the K99/R00, under normal eligibility rules, between June/July 2021 and February/March 2022 (inclusive of these dates). In addition those who normally would have been eligible to apply for the June/July 2022 receipt date will have a 1-receipt cycle (roughly 4 months) extension. Please note that this eligibility extension applies to AIDS and non-AIDs applications.
