Clarifying NIH ’s Approach to Granting ESI Extensions
There has been a lot of focus on early stage investigator (ESI) extension requests in the community recently. And we certainly understand why.

Can I Request an Extension to My ESI Period for an Event That Occurred During a Timeframe That Includes a Previous Extension?
An Early Stage Investigator (ESI) is a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) who has completed their terminal research degree or end of post-graduate clinical training (whichever date is later) within the past 10 years and who has not previously competed successfully as PD/PI for a substantial NIH independent research award.
Some investigators experience a lapse in their research or research training or experience periods of less than full-time effort during the 10-year ESI period. In order to accommodate such lapses, the NIH considers requests to extend the ESI period for reasons that can include medical concern...
