Change in Standing Receipt Dates for NIH/AHRQ/NIOSH Beginning in January 2007
Please note NIH has just announced a revision to the standard receipt dates for grant applications submitted to NIH, AHRQ and NIOSH. These new receipt dates will be effective as of January 2007 and will apply to both paper and electronic applications.
For more detailed information and to view the revised standard receipt dates, please refer to the following NIH Notice Number: NOT-OD-07-001: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-001.html.
The new receipt dates are based on many factors, including:
- The heaviest receipt dates from all agencies on Grants.gov are the first of the month, the 15th of the month, the first Friday, and last day of the month. The proposed NIH receipt dates have been intentionally offset from these dates to improve Grants.gov response times for NIH applicants.
- An effort was made to use recurring days of the month for simplicity (i.e. new R01s would come in on February 5 and renewals on March 5).
- The R01s, NIH's most frequently used mechanism, were kept early in the receipt window to allow time for processing. The receipt date of the 5th of the month was chosen to be sure the bolus of submissions that come in on the receipt date and the few days prior missed Grants.gov's heaviest volume days.
- The proposed dates provide additional time for proposal development for application mechanisms often used by new investigators - R03s, R21s, and Ks.
- The AREA date was already changed in the fall of 2005 so it was not moved.
- The New Investigator R01 date was not changed to avoid affecting the pilot. At present this involves only new investigator R01 applications reviewed in fortystudy sections in CSR( http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-060.html )
NIH has revised its standard receipt dates as follows. Applications for Request for Applications (RFAs) and Program Announcements (PAs, PARs, PASs) with special receipt dates continue to be due on the specified dates listed in the FOA. For an application to be considered on time it must be received by Grants.gov by 5 p.m. local time for the applicant institution. http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-06-050.html
