<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-021.html" target="_blank">NOT-OD-11-021: Reminder: Policies Affecting Submission of NIH Grant Applications for Due Dates on or after January 25, 2011</a>.</p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">NIH policy on page limits</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. 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
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-077.html" target="_blank">NOT-OD-10-077</a>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">End of two-day correction window</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. Beginning with due dates on or after January 25, 2011,
NIH will eliminate the <a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/glossary.htm#E10" target="_blank">error correction window</a> from the application submission process. This applies to electronic and paper-based submissions. See
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-123.html" target="_blank">NOT-OD-10-123</a>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">NIH policy on post-submission application materials</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. 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
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-091.html" target="_blank">NOT-OD-10-091</a>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">New form requirements</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. 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 <a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-007.html" target="_blank">

<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">End of the “grandparent” period for legal A2 applications</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. 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
<b><span>(should be October 2011 Council per
<a href="http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-11-023.html" target="_blank">NOT-OD-11-023</a>)</span></b> and beyond, no NIH A2 application will be accepted. See

<p style="line-height: 16.8pt;"><b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">New time limit for NIH resubmission applications</span></b><span style="font-size: 9pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt;">. 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
