Revised Post-Submission Material Policy

·         Revising the NIH/AHRQ/NIOSH Post-Submission Material Policy

·         Notice Number: NOT-OD-23-106

·         https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-23-106.html

In response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, NIH implemented a special exception for post-submission material, allowing a one-page update of preliminary data as post-submission material to specified notices of funding opportunity (NOFOs) (see latest in series of exception notices NOT-OD-23-066). The Public Health Emergency is due to end on May 11, 2023 (see NOT-OD-23-095). For applications submitted for the May 25, 2023 receipt date and beyond, that special exception is ended and is replaced by the following policy.

For applications submitted for the May 25, 2023 receipt date and beyond, NIH, AHRQ, and NIOSH will accept a one-page update with preliminary data as post-submission material for Type 1 R01, R21, or R03 applications, including resubmissions, if the NOFO used for submission allows preliminary data in the application. Because applications for emergency competitive revisions and urgent competitive revisions undergo expedited review, post-submission materials will not be accepted for those applications.

Please refer to full notice for further details.
