If an applicant accepts a two-year ARRA award that covers only a portion of the original aims, can a new application be submitted for the withdrawn aims now?
Yes. If the award or other official communication from NIH specifically reduced the aims and budget and was documented in the Notice of Grant Award, other official correspondence, or as a changed abstract, an applicant can submit the withdrawn aims in a new application. A brief cover letter should be included, explaining why some of the aims may appear to overlap with a previous application. If the change of scope was documented in a separate e-mail or letter (and not in the Notice of Award), that document should be included as part of the cover letter.
