If it weren't for being the even letters, 5 looks like THREE.

And my first thought for 7 was UNIFIED, but I can't quite make it fit either.

[Elethiomel]

Yeah, looks like I botched up the clue for number 5. I have fixed it now.

7. TUNED.

1. PRESENT?

[Elethiomel]

PRESENT is correct, POE is wrong.

[Suspence]

Edited these into my summary post above.

18. Mixed drinks with eggs and off-center rims. - FLIPS?

[novice]

16. While slow, he normally caught up. - WHEN

17. Money earmarked for research into a revolutionary period.

I have this idea that "into a revolutionary" = "ation", but I haven't figured out the rest. There's no period named grantation as far as I know.

[Jack_Ian]

8. Icon ends up to date. INVITE?

[Zag]

[Zag]

[Suspence]

Nor is "puctu"

"Cess," however, is at least actually a word -- a specific type of tax, unfortunately it's a tax related to the military, not to research.

[Elethiomel]

WHEN and FLIPS are correct, INVITE is wrong.

8 is IN, up to date and the ends of icon. It also fits with IN CALM OSTRICH = ALMOST.

[novice]

6. CHANNELS

[Elethiomel]

IN and CHANNELS are correct. There is one minor error among the bolded words, that may throw you off when solving the next level.

PARADING instead of PARADE, I imagine.

I don't get FLIPS either.

Random thoughts:

Could "Money earmarked" be MY or ONE? (I'm not sure if 'earmarked' would mean remove the ears or keep only them.)

The only orang-utans famous enough to be used in a clue, IMHO, are Louis or King Louis, from Disney's version of Jungle book, or Clyde from the Clint Eastwood movie. But it might just be ape.

[Thok*]

[Zag]

Except that they are at opposite ends of the clue, so one of the two has to be the definition (or part of it) and not wordplay.

FLIPS - 18. Mixed drinks with eggs and off-center rims.

Mixed drinks with eggs = Flips e.g. http://www.barnonedrinks.com/drinks/by_ingredient/e/egg-437.html
Off-center = F
Rims = lips
