NIH Proposal Submission Change
Beginning with due dates on or after January 25, 2011, NIH, AHRQ and NIOSH will eliminate the error correction window from the application submission process. For additional information see: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not-od-10-123.html
Note: NIH proposals are submitted via Grants.gov. The Grant application can take up to two days to get through the Grants.gov system. Plan accordingly.
When OSRP submitted the proposal to NIH, any corrections of the application could be made within the two day window after the deadline. With this new change, OSRP will still be able to correct missing or incorrect aspects of the application, however they must be made prior to the deadline. Therefore, PIs are strongly encouraged to submit their completed proposals to OSRP at least two days prior to the deadline to allow for corrections to be made by the deadline.
Beginning on January 25, 2011, all applications submitted on the due date after 5 p.m. local time of the applicant organization will be subject to the NIH late policy and may not be accepted for review. In addition, any post-submission application materials will be subject to the new policy detailed in the NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-10-115.1,2
