NIH to Require the Use of Updated Electronic Grant Application Forms

NIH will be updating its electronic grant application forms to be used on applications with due dates on or after September 25.  They have posted guidelines online to help you with the transition. 

Additionally,  the transition to an electronic process for multi-project applications will take place on September 25 and will continue on a program-by-program basis. 

You should also be on the lookout for the new eRA commons Personal Profile.  The changes include an interface that asks for information based on your user role and provides explainations on how that information will be used. 

If you have any questions regarding these NIH changes, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs.
