*Subject:* [DIVRESEARCH-L] New NIH Policies go into effect for proposals
submitted after 1/25/2011.



*NIH reminds extramural research community about policies affecting NIH
Grant Submissions for due dates on or after January 25, 2011.*

NOT-OD-11-021: Reminder: Policies Affecting Submission of NIH Grant
Applications for Due Dates on or after January 25,
2011<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-021.html>
.

*NIH policy on page limits*. The NIH instructs reviewers that they need not
consider inappropriate text or materials that have been placed in
application sections without page limits (e.g., Protection of Human
Subjects), or in the Appendix, as a way to circumvent page limits for the
Research Strategy or other page-limited sections. In egregious cases, NIH
has the authority to withdraw such an application from review or
consideration for funding. See
NOT-OD-10-077<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-077.html>
.

*End of two-day correction window*. Beginning with due dates on or after
January 25, 2011, NIH will eliminate the error correction
window<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/glossary.htm#E10>from the
application submission process. This applies to electronic and
paper-based submissions. See
NOT-OD-10-123<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-123.html>
.

*NIH policy on post-submission application materials*. The NIH restricts
acceptable post-submission materials to those resulting from unforeseen
administrative issues (with exceptions specified for institutional training
mechanisms and certain RFAs). Corrections of oversights/errors discovered
after submission of the application will not be allowed. See
NOT-OD-10-091<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-091.html>
.

*New form requirements*. Applications for Career Development, Institutional
Training and Career Development, and Individual National Research Service
Award programs must use new ADOBE-FORMS-B1 packages for deadlines on or
after January 25, 2011. Applications for all other NIH programs requiring
electronic submission may use the new forms now, but must use them for due
dates of May 7, 2011 and beyond. See
NOT-OD-11-007<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-007.html>and
NOT-OD-11-008<http://grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-008.html>
.

*End of the “grandparent” period for legal A2 applications*. The last A2
submission (when the A0 application was assigned to August 2009 Council or
before) will be received for the January 7, 2011 AIDS date (May 2011
Council). For October 2012 Council *(should be October 2011 Council per
NOT-OD-11-023<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-023.html>
)* and beyond, no NIH A2 application will be accepted. See
NOT-OD-10-135<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-135.html>
.

*New time limit for NIH resubmission applications*. For resubmissions
submitted for the January 25, 2011 due date and after, the NIH will not
accept a resubmission later than thirty-seven months after the date of
receipt of the initial New, Renewal, or Revision application. See
NOT-OD-10-140<http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-140.html>.
