National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Special
NIH Review Session on Electronic
Proposal Submissions
On Wednesday,
January 11, administrators and several
faculty gathered to view a special "Web Cast" on the
preparation and submission of NIH grant
proposals using Grants.Gov. The 3.5
hour broadcast was recorded and has been
archived on the NIH web site for
individual viewing. To access
click here.
For several months we have been
reporting on - and attempting to resolve
- a range of problems associated with
implementation of Grants.gov.
These problems are not unique to BNL;
they affect every grant-seeking
institution in the country, but
especially those investigators who use
Mac computers of other than Microsoft's
Internet Explorer. NIH appears to
have acknowledged the severity of this
problem with a statement released on
February 7, 2006 postponing
implementation of Grants.gov for
unsolicited R01 grant applications -
what is by far the agency's most popular
grant mechanism. Implementation
for R01s is now postponed until February
2007. For further information, you
may wish to review recent announcements
from NIH (links provided below).

eRA-Commons
eRA-Commons is NIH's foray into the world of electronic research
administration. If you intend to
submit a grant proposal to the NIH, it
is incumbent upon you to register in the
eRA-Commons database. Please note:
NIH grant applicants must register both
as Grants.Gov users and as eRA-Commons
users. The use of both sites will
be required in the preparation and
submission of NIH grant proposals. For information on how to register as a BNL user of eRA Commons,

PHS398: Grant
Application Instructions and Forms
PHS398 is the designation or form number assigned to the
traditional NIH grant application
package which, of course, is being
phased out in favor of electronic
proposal submission using Grants.Gov.
Nonetheless, select grant competitions
will continue to use the PHS398 over the
next year; for this reason we provide
you this link to access the
complete
instructions and array of forms. Several partially-completed
PHS398 forms follow:
