5. SF 424 (R&R) Forms and Applications page  The revised forms and instructions are now available on the SF 424 (R&R) Forms and Applications page and adjustments have been made to improve their usability.  The new format extends the page limit for the biosketch from four to five pages.  Individual fellowships, R36 dissertation grants, and diversity supplements should use the Fellowship Application Biographical Sketch Format Page and related pre-doc and post-doc instructions and samples, while research grant applications, career development, training grant, and all other application types should use the general Biographical Sketch Format Page and instructions and sample.

9.  “…The new NIH biosketch emphasizes accomplishments instead of just a list of publications…*”  The primary focus of the new NIH biosketch will be the magnitude and significance of the scientific advances associated with a researcher’s discoveries and the specific role the researcher played in those findings. This change will help reviewers evaluate not on the publication reputation or how many times, but instead by the accomplishments. *Rock Talk, 12/1/2014
