<p class=MsoNormal>NIH recently issued a series of announcements related to
proposal submission, paper proposal forms, and other forms related to award
management. The announcements and a brief summary appear below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>NIH Policy on Late
Submission of Grant Applications (NOT-OD-08-027)<br>
National Institutes of Health<br>

<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>This announcement reiterates NIH’s
long standing policy on late submission of grant applications, including its
expectation that grant applications be submitted on time. It also describes
the “window of consideration” that is available if unforeseen
events prevent the timely submission of a proposal.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></li>
</ul>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>The Public Health Service, which
includes the NIH, has released a new version of the PHS 398 paper application
form. Funding mechanisms that still require paper proposal submission
include research training grants, career development awards, changes of grantee
institution and complex mechanisms (i.e., cooperative agreements, center awards
and program project grants). The new form will be accepted immediately
and must be used for all submission on or after May 25, 2008.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>For PHS 398 paper applications,
appendices may now be submitted on CD. On May 25, 2008, appendices may
only be submitted on CD. NIH encourages the use of a summary listing the
items in the appendices and recommends that this be the first file on the CD.<o:p></o:p></p>
