NIH revises rules for re-submitting competing proposals

In May the National Institutes of Health announced a modification to its policy allowing investigators to revise and resubmit competitive grant proposals. The revised policy continues to restrict the number of amended applications but eliminates the two-year restriction on the window of time. Accordingly, the NIH will still not consider any A3 or igher amendment to an application for extramural support. But, effective May 7, 2003, there is no longer a time limit for the submission of the first and second revisions (A1 and A2). This policy applies to all NIH extramural funding mechanisms.

The official notice of revised policy is posted on-line at grants1.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-03-041.html
