Sample R01 and R21 Applications and Summary Statements
Table of Contents
Introduction
Several investigators who wrote exceptional applications in the shorter format—with a 12-page Research Strategy—have graciously agreed to let us post them online.
We are truly indebted to the investigators listed below, who have enabled us to deliver this widely anticipated resource to the research community.
The text of these applications is copyrighted. You may use it only for nonprofit educational purposes provided the document remains unchanged and the PI, the grantee organization, and NIAID are credited.
How to Print the Files

R01 Sample Applications and Summary Statements
We selected these applications as sound examples for new investigators as well as experienced investigators who are new to the shorter format.
R21 Sample Applications and Summary Statements
Please note that the R21 funds novel scientific ideas, model systems, tools, agents, targets, and technologies that have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. R21s are not intended for new investigators, and there is no evidence that they provide a path to an independent research career.
