Thanks, Mike
I have attached a summary outline for restructured R01s that I've been putting together. (I'll have a version for R03s and R21s soon, I hope as well as samples for the new Biosketch). This is based on the new information from NIH, but streamlined to focus on the Research Strategy sections for PIs. I plan to revise it at least once more, as we get the hang of the new guidelines, and I welcome any suggestions for making it easy to use. Please feel free to share.
Best,
Janet

The link following link has the new page limits for an NIH submission http://enhancing-peer-review.nih.gov/page_limits.html. The attached files have more information on the new format. Additional information can be found at http://enhancing-peer-review.nih.gov/application_changes_video.html . The PowerPoint file comes from that site. The Excel file was prepared by Chris Nagorski, Business Manager of the New York Office of NBER.

As far as I can tell, the specific aims section is limited to one page. The rest of what was the research plan (now called research strategy) is limited to 12 pages for an R01 and to six pages for an R03 and an R21.
