NIH Notices: RPPR | Biosketch Pilot | NIOSH Application Submission Policy

Please take note of the following:

• NIH Will Require the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) for All Type 5 Non-SNAP Progress Reports on October 17, 2014
  (NOT-OD-14-092) National Institutes of Health
• Piloting Modified NIH Biosketches
  (NOT-OD-14-091) National Institutes of Health

• NIOSH Announces Updated Policy for Application Submission
  (NOT-OH-14-006) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

Effective immediately, for application due dates after May 28, 2014, following an unsuccessful resubmission (A1) application, applicants may submit the same idea as a new (A0) application for the next appropriate due date. NIOSH will not assess the similarity of the science in the new (A0) application to any previously reviewed submission when accepting an application for review. Although a new (A0) application does not allow an introduction or responses to the previous reviews, the NIOSH encourages applicants to refine and strengthen all application submissions.

Should you have questions about the applicability of these policies to current or anticipated projects, please contact me or your OSPA Pre-Award or Post-Award staff.
