Sample R01 Applications and Summary Statements

Table of Contents

Introduction

Four investigators who wrote exceptional R01 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.

We selected these applications as sound examples for new investigators as well as experienced investigators who are new to the shorter format. To highlight the excellent grantsmanship attributes, we have lightly annotated the Abstracts and Research Plans.

While you are free to read and benefit from the text, please note that these applications are copyrighted. You may use the text verbatim for nonprofit educational purposes only, and you must credit the PI, grantee organization, and NIAID.
