NIH Grant Applications — Coversion to an Electronic Submission Process
Electronic SubmissionsNIH recently announced that we will begin to convert from the PHS 398 grant application form to the new Standard Form (SF) 424 Research and Research Related (R&R) application form. The new form will require electronic submission through Grants.gov (for background information, please see the NIH Guide Announcement, ). The transition begins with the December 1, 2005, submission date for the SBIR/STTR program, with other grant mechanisms soon to follow. The NIH has made a number of resources available to enable you to educate yourself about the transition.
We recognize that the transition to electronic receipt will be a huge change for all of us. We will try to make the transition as easy as possible. Important information for Macintosh UsersWhy does NIH use a system that is not platform independent for electronic submission? The I have heard that Grants.gov is not Macintosh compatible. What do I do if I use only a Macintosh? Grants.gov is aware of the issues facing Macintosh users who apply
for Federal grants electronically. The NIH Office of Extramural
Research has provided information regarding this issue on the
eRA FAQ
Page of their Web site, under Software (direct
