Upcoming NIH Deadlines

As NIH Cycle II is about to begin, we are including for your information the updated schedule showing NIH deadlines along with OSP deadlines.

It is also a good time to remind you that OSP must have Grants.gov/NIH Electronic application packages ten (10) working days before the sponsor deadline. Please remember that the ten (10) working day deadline is applicable to all application packages being submitted through Grants.gov, for any sponsor. It is expected that your electronic application package will be in "final" format when submitted to OSP for review and submission.

Make sure you refer to the latest version of the OSP checklist for NIH SF424 (R&R) Applications to prepare your package. The checklist is regularly updated; click here to download the checklist from our website.

We continue to offer computer lab training sessions for preparing NIH Grants.gov applications. If you need training or just want a refresher, don't hesitate to register. Please go to the Grants.gov Training Schedule to view dates and times of upcoming sessions.
