Applying for "Selected Topics in Transfusion Medicine" R01?

If you are planning to apply for this NHLBI R01 opportunity, a notice recently released by NIH impacts the due dates. Instead of sticking with standard R01 deadlines, the next deadline will be February 5th 2012 (same as parent R01s), but the deadline after that will not be in June. Rather, your next opportunity for a non-AIDS application will be October 5th. That means, if you don't have your act together by February, you will have to wait another 8 months. So don't wait- get started now!
