Use the right zip code when submitting to NIH!
Using the wrong zip code when submitting a proposal to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) could be harmful to your health – or at least, your peace of mind. NIH’s Center for Science Review (CSR) – where virtually all competitive proposals go – has two zip codes: one (for normal mail delivery via regular US Postal Service channels, and one for courier delivery. The Division of Receipt and Referral of CSR recently issued the following reminder:
The Zip Code 20817 specified in the grant application instructions for "Courier" delivery should not be used for Express Mail through the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS does not deliver packages directly to the 6701 Rockledge Drive address but instead forwards them to the main mail facility of the NIH. If the "Courier" zip code is used with USPS, the application may be initially sent to a nonNIH mail facility and later routed to NIH. Thus, when tracking your package it will be noted that it was forwarded to another zip code (20892). That is normal procedure and the package will be forwarded back to the Rockledge address though there will be a delay. Consequently, all applications sent via the United States Postal Service for Express or regular mail should use the following address:Center for Scientific Review
National Institutes of Health
Suite 1040
6701 Rockledge Drive MSC 7710
Bethesda, MD 20892-7710
All applications sent via a courier delivery service should use this address:Center for Scientific Review
National Institutes of Health
Suite 1040
6701 Rockledge Drive
Bethesda, MD 20817
Applications may not be delivered by individuals to the Center for Scientific Review but must be sent via a courier delivery service or the USPS.
