New and Renewals

For new R and K series awards, and T32 awards. (For R01, R03, R15, R21, R43, R44, R41, R42) all K series, and T32s), the application form is the PHS form 398 . FAQ about PHS Form 398. For F series awards (predoctoral/postdoctoral NRSA awards), the application form is the PHS form 416-1 . The NIH is transitioning from paper submission of grant applications to electronic submission via the web portal of Grants.gov, and replacing the PHS398 form with the SF424 (Research and Research-related (R&R)) application. This staged transition began in December 2005 and will culminate in September 2007.

Electronic submissions: Electronic submissions timeline and the electronic SF424 application form. Submit electronically for the specific award mechanism that you plan to use ON or AFTER its electronic submission target date. Instructions and training are also available at this link.
