Thanks for replying! I'm crossing my fingers that they haven't finalized selections for renewals, but it's a few weeks later than prior years already =(

I got an email that I was selected for "financial review" on 5/14/2019. NCI, clinical research, renewal application (renewal #1). Good luck to all!

Congrats!
Were you both extramural?
Yup, both extramural. Her first time applying, my second.

Checked the portal tonight and found out my application was selected (I haven't received an email). NIAAA CR.

Mine still says submitted (NIAAA CR). Not quite ready to lose hope... but this is probably bad news for me.

Me too. I received the email last night for NIAAA CR financial review request. Good luck!
NIH published an interesting article on their blog regarding persistence in research careers for awarded versus non-awarded LRP applicants:
It's interesting confirmation of the expected outcome, but I suspect the fact that they award these preferentially to more productive and committed researchers makes it impossible to measure the impact of the award itself on persistence or productivity. What is perhaps most surprising is that still fewer than half of the awardees remain in research careers, which presumably means the majority are taking the money and returning to clinical practice? Anwyay, I thought others here might be interested in having a look.

Is there a difference in how they handle LRP applications for those holding F32s? I got an extramural NEI Pediatric LRP last year and will be submitting a renewal this fall to try and have no gaps in LRP funding. I got a promising percentile score on my F32 and should hear back soon if I will get funded (Council meets this Friday). Just curious to know if my renewal will be handled differently... Also, congrats on the F32 and good luck with the LRP!
I have an F32 myself and haven’t heard of any difference in handling of LRPs when you’re on one. The only difference that comes into play is the repayment period for both, they stack and cannot overlap. Also, as a random aside, council dates don’t matter for the F32, they make those funding decisions outside of council (if you look at the PA for the F32s you will see that “Not Applicable for Fellowships” under Advisory Council Dates).

Thanks for the info. I have a NRSA payback obligation from a T32 and I am deferring that while on the LRP. When contacting my PO about my potential to receive funding for the F32, he said he would know after June council. Did a quick search and it looks like at least some ICs have a committee that make funding plans for fellowships that coincide with Council meetings - the more you know.

I know right... If they were there would be no need for forums like this!
I've heard nothing, which makes me think that I was not awarded. I'm surprised that I haven't received a rejection email at this point, but I suppose they tend to save those for last. Can you still log in to the system?
Yes, I can log-in. It still says "Submitted"...
I may reach out and email to ask. Tired of waiting!
I just checked my old emails, and I did not get rejection or approval emails until August (of 2016 and of 2018). Who knows.
Just spoke to the NIAMS LRP contact on the phone and she kindly went through my reviewer comments, scores, etc. In short, my renewal was just on the funding line, but not accepted this round (mostly because of one pretty harsh reviewer!). Will attempt a resubmission this fall.

Last year I checked in with the PO at NIMH and they told me I was not selected for financial review/rejected in June but wasn't officially notified by email until mid August.

Status switched from selected to funded yesterday afternoon. Overnight, I got my congratulations email.
NIDDK Clinical Research- first award
NIDDK Clinical Research- first award
When I call them about (NIMHD) renewal funding, they tell me that funding decisions are not finalized and they can't give me any additional information. So frustrating, because I'm pretty sure that people who were not selected for financial review will not be funded. I guess I will have to wait another two months to get what seems to be an obvious answer.
Thanks for that information. Do you know of NIMHD renewal applicants who have been selected for financial review? I hadn’t even heard of anyone making it to that step yet, so I was still hopeful.
I do not. I just assumed that it happened already, since it happened in May the last time I received funding. If no one has received financial review yet, maybe there is still hope...

got the funded email this morning! NCI, Clinical research, 1st time renewal, 1-yr. A few questions:
- has the funding limit changed this year/is it different for renewals? I'm seeing 1/2 of your remaining debt up to $50K, which is higher than the $35K/yr for my initial grant. LRP Program Details | NIH: Division of Loan Repayment (award calculation tab)
- does the 1-yr renewal mean that I need to write another application in 2 months?
Good luck to all!

Anyone hear from or know of anyone who has heard from NINDS yet?

I only know the answer to this question. Unfortunately, yes - getting the one-year renewal means you have to apply again this year.

My application status switched back from "selected" to "submitted" too and all my loan information from the financial review process disappeared. Reviewing last year's posts, seems like bad news. I am so sad NICHD 1st time applicant here.

No news for my NIHMD renewal. I never received a request for loan information or loan balance. Still says submitted on the portal.
And all the best to those getting ready to submit or resubmit in the upcoming cycle.

Status switched from selected to funded this morning! First time applicant, basic science NIBIB.
Anyone know about the implications with loan IBR? Will my payments all of a sudden go up next year or is there a way around it by having them calculate based on my monthly income (and not the yearly "income" that goes up from the lump sum loan payment). I think I saw that they pay the taxes to the IRS thank god.

Just received word that my NIAAA-CR renewal LRP was funded. Good luck to all those still waiting to hear back about their LRP applications.
They do cover federal taxes but please beware of state taxes! For CA it ended up being a lot...
Thanks for the heads up, wouldn't have thought of that. Time to change my withholding!
Hi there, my application (NIDA clinical) just changed from selected back to submitted...just wondering if you (or anyone else) ultimately heard they got funded after that type of status change? I'm freaking out
This is the third time I've applied.

For people's whose status changed to submitted - did you eventually get an email saying you did not receive an award? In these cases, has anyone's Program Officer been helpful in providing ways to improve your application for the next cycle?

Anyone check their application AFTER it switched to funded? This morning mine switched to "funded" (Clinical research NIA) and then this afternoon it was back to "selected" .... Needless to say I am bit concerned....I have not gotten any email confirmation about the award

I experienced the same thing yesterday (also Clinical Research NIA). I contacted the help desk and they told me to wait for an email to confirm my award status....not an excellent afternoon. Still haven’t gotten an email.
Same here. "funded" yesterday morning--then switched back to "selected" in the afternoon (also Clinical Research NIA). I really hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem great...
Then again, maybe a summer intern accidentally pushed a button that reset all of the NIA application statuses yesterday afternoon, and now they have to re-enter everything again. One can dream, right?

I suppose its nice to hear we are all in the same boat. I got the same email back from the NIH, basically they told me I need to wait for a final notice of approval that will come via email. I guess all we can do is wait? I hope you are right about an intern making a mistake! Maybe we will get some type of answer today?

Hahahaha, fingers crossed that it was an intern's mistake! It is nice to know that there are others in the same boat. I'll post when I hear something.
