DELAYS IN GRANT APPLICATION SUBMISSION AND OTHER NIH ACTIVITIES Release Date: September 13, 2001 NOTICE: NOT-OD-01-062 National Institutes of Health The tragic events of September 11 will have many effects on operations at universities and research institutions, as well as the NIH. The NIH realizes that this may cause problems for investigators who are planning to submit grant applications. Applications that are submitted late should include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay. It is not necessary to get permission in advance for such delays in grant application submission. For most applicants a reasonable delay will be until normal communication and delivery processes are functioning. For applicants in New York City, it is expected that the delays may be considerably longer. Since there are still many uncertainties at this time, it is difficult to give further guidance. As more information becomes available, additional notices will be posted in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. Individuals who were scheduled to come to NIH for review or other meetings should check with the Scientific Review Administrator or responsible Federal official about any changes.
