NOTICE from NIH: NIH Applications Must Be Complete and Compliant with NIH Policy and Application Instructions at the Time of Submission

NIH has issued a notice (NOT-OD-17-105) reminding all applicants that NIH will consistently apply standards for applications completeness and for compliance with all submission requirements and NIH policies. The notice did not include any changes and was only a reminder of their policies. The full notice can be viewed at https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-17-105.html.

As a reminder from OSP, timely submission of your proposal to OSP will allow them to provide as complete a review as possible. This is the best way to avoid NIH withdrawal of an application. OSP’s review guidelines are available at http://www.osp.emory.edu/proposal-dev/p-review-guidelines.html.
