eSubmission News and Updates
NIH eSubmission Items of Interest — July 13, 2006
There are exceptions to every rule…
Yesterday, we provided an update on our Version 2 forms implementation. As
we’ve all figured out by now, updating forms in this brave new electronic
world is messy business. We did our best to introduce the Version 2 forms
to existing Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) at a time that would
be the least disruptive to applications in progress for standard submission
dates. There just isn’t any time, however, that misses ALL submission
dates. So we have identified about a dozen FOAs that are exceptions to the
general update rules.
Here is the general rule so you can have this all in one place:
| Release/Posted Date of FOA | Expiration Date | Grant Mechanism | Use New Forms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before June 15, 2006 | On/Before Dec. 31, 2006 | All mechanisms | N/A - will be allowed to close gracefully with no form change. |
| Before June 15, 2006 | After Dec. 31, 2006 | R03, R15, R21, R21/R33, R33, R34, R36 and XO1 | After July 18, 2006 |
| Before June 15, 2006 | After Dec. 31, 2006 | SBIR/STTR (R43, R44, R41, R42), R13/U13 | After Sept. 15, 2006 |
| On/After June 15, 2006 | Any | All mechanisms | Immediately – initial posting will include new form package. |
The following group of eleven FOAs will be held for reposting of the Version 2 forms until 9/15/2006, since the next submission dates for these FOAs are too close to the update dates in the general rule.
