Both the June 5th standard due date for New R01 and U01 applications and the June 12th standard due date for New Research Career Development (K) applications fall on Saturdays this year causing each to shift to the following Monday (June 7th and June 14th).

With “rolling” submission dates, we define the first and last days applications will be accepted and you pick the day between them to submit your application.
