Letters of intent help the NIH staff gauge needs for the scientific review of the applications. In addition, sometimes letters of intent are used to gauge responsiveness to the RFA, and in some cases applicants can be informed, before writing an entire application, that their application may be deemed unresponsive. Letters should be brief and there is no standard format.

LOIs are not required for IDEA (both regular and “junior investigator”), postdoc fellowships, and dissertation awards. All other award types (CRCs, the Translational Research Award, and IDEA-competitive renewal) require an LOI. Be sure to contact us, if you have any questions!

Letters of Intent will only be accepted by email. Letters of Intent submitted by hard copy or fax will not be accepted. Full proposals will only be accepted through grants.gov. Full proposals submitted by email, fax or hard copy will not be accepted. Graduate students may be included on applications. Graduate students should not be listed as principal investigators, co-principal investigators, or senior personnel.

For most award mechanisms, yes, you may. For certain award mechanisms, however, Letters of Intent are required. In that case, failure to submit a Letter of Intent may render your proposal noncompliant. Letters of Intent are important to help us recruit qualified reviewers for peer review of your proposal.

Letters of intent (LOIs) are reviewed and evaluated by foundation staff within four to six weeks of receipt. Following the evaluation process, applicants will receive written notification that either invites or discourages the submission of a full application.

Since the Letter of Intent is not mandatory, the due date is relative. For administrative and planning purposes, as well as those related to determining eligibility, a Letter of Intent should be submitted on time. However, a Letter of Intent that is submitted late is still helpful.

ANSWER. A letter of intent indicates that a particular team intends to submit an application. It is not required nor is it binding. It is, however, very helpful for the Institute in arranging for peer reviewers. Thus, including as much information about the planned center, (e.g., key individuals involved, institutions involved) along with an e-mail address of the Principal Investigator and her/his telephone number, is very useful.

Institutions may submit more than one letter of intent per funding opportunity and principal investigators may serve as co-principal investigators or key personnel on more than one application.
