Upcoming Changes to the Notice of Award (NoA) Beginning October 1, 2020

Notice Number: NOT-OD-20-155

Changes to NoA effective 10/1/2020: “The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has developed a standardized Page One of the NoA and, effective October 1, 2020, this will serve as the first page of every HHS NoA for all discretionary awards.  The new Page One captures key award information for grant recipients in an intuitive and digitally accessible format and provides consistency across HHS to require fewer unique formats for HHS to manage.”
