NIH relaxes their stance on resubmissions

The NIH and AHRQ released a notice (NOT-OD-14-074) on April 17th that reads in part:

Effective immediately, for application due dates after April 16, 2014, following an unsuccessful resubmission (A1) application, applicants may submit the same idea as a new (A0) application for the next appropriate due date. The NIH and AHRQ will not assess the similarity of the science in the new (A0) application to any previously reviewed submission when accepting an application for review.

A FAQ's page has also been released: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/resubmission_q&a.htm

UPDATE 4/28/14: The NIH has provided clarification of the policy, based on questions they received. You may find the answers helpful.
