periodically; follow the 901
form instructions.
Change of IC assignment
Program Staff
- Request a change in primary assignment for a grant application either
1) before initial
review for a change in IC assignment, or 2) after peer review
to enable a new primary IC to make an award. For the latter,
do not make this request until after the summary statement has
been entered
into IMPAC. NOTE: For instructions
on how applicants should request assignment change, see Request
for Primary IC Assignment SOP.
- Discuss assignment changes with your counterparts in other
ICs before submitting a 901 form.
- If an application is moving to an IC for review, notify the scientific review officer of the assignment change before the review.
- For processing, send completed electronic 901 forms to Contact for NIAID Staff.
In deciding whether to accept an assignment change from another
IC, discuss the consequences with your branch chief. If you decide to accept the application, notify your division coordinator. The coordinator will then send the application to Contact for NIAID Staff.
Division of Extramural Activities Staff
Withdrawal after application
submission
Program Staff
- If an application is nonresponsive to an RFA, submit a
901 form to have the application withdrawn. Inform the principal
investigator and the scientific
review officer that the application will not be peer
reviewed. See the Withdrawal of a Nonresponsive
Application SOP.
- If an applicant decides to withdraw an application, submit
a 901 form with a letter from the investigator and co-signed by the
sponsoring institution's business official.

- Use a 901 form to request changes or correct errors in a grant number,

IC is involved, Contact for NIAID Staff must fax the
901 to the other IC's referral liaison for approval and
signature.

and signed by both ICs, to CSR for final action.
