Expiration Dates will be adjusted to Accommodate Recent Changes to Standing
Submission Deadlines
Notice Number: NOT-OD-07-093
Key Dates
Release Date: September 17, 2007
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov)
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (NIOSH/CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/oep)
Changes in standing Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) application
submission deadlines took effect this year (see NOT-OD-07-001 and
NOT-OD-07-053). The submission deadline changes have left more than 400
multi-year FOAs with an expiration date earlier than their last submission
deadline. Standard practice has been to set the "Expiration Date" of an FOA to
the day after the last possible submission deadline for that FOA.
NIH/NIOSH will adjust the Expiration Date for each of the affected FOAs, to
address this discrepancy in dates and avoid confusion. This change of date will
occur between September 18 and November 2, 2007. No action need be taken by
applicants. There will be no change to submission deadlines or application
packages as a result of these adjustments.
Applicants must continue to use the "Application Submission/Receipt Date(s)"
and "AIDS Application Submission/Receipt Date(s)" listed in the Key Dates
section of the FOA to determine submission deadlines. The Expiration Date IS
NOT the submission deadline for an FOA. A change in Expiration Date does not
signify more time for application submission.
Sample Change:
FOA: PA-06-181 NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Program (Parent
R21)
Last submission deadline (per new schedule): May 7, 2009
Current Expiration Date: May 2, 2009
Adjusted Expiration Date: May 8, 2009
The adjustments will trigger Grants.gov automated emails to be sent to all
who subscribed to receive FOA updates. You could receive over 400 emails during
this process, if you subscribe to receive updates to ALL FOAs. We are unable to
suppress these Grants.gov emails. Please disregard these messages throughout
the adjustment period.
The Expiration Dates for adjusted and newly posted FOAs that use standard
submission deadlines will be the day after the last AIDS submission deadline.
Consequently, Expiration Dates will be January 8, May 8, or September 8.
Although the AIDS deadlines do not apply to all FOAs, the new practice will
provide consistency across NIH FOAs.
