Frequently Asked Questions for OSP Concerning Upcoming Deadlines:

I was planning to send a resubmission of an RO1.  The original deadline is November 5th.  Has the deadline changed?    As stated in the NIH Notice "November grant application due dates will not change."

*Replacement/refreshed applications to NIH

Opportunity to "Refresh" Applications that are Reassigned to May 2014 Council:  
Applicants whose review meetings are rescheduled and whose applications are reassigned to the May 2014 Council and will be notified via email to the principal investigator and the signing official listed on the grant application. In addition, meeting dates listed in the eRA Commons for these applications for will be changed to 09/09/9999 so they can be identified.

Applications will proceed to the February/March 2014 review without any action from the applicant.  However, NIH is giving applicants the option of withdrawing and submitting a refreshed application. If you choose to replace your application, follow the steps below carefully:

• Withdraw the existing application by November 8.  You should receive a notice from your NIH Program Official.  Please forward a copy of the notice to your OSP Grants Officer at [log in to unmask] and indicate the title and your wish to "replace."
• Submit the application to the  original funding opportunity announcement (FOA), if possible.
• If that FOA has closed, submit to the appropriate parent announcement.
• If there is no parent announcement for that activity code, send an e-mail to [log in to unmask] with the previous FOA number and we will work with you to get the application submitted.
• Submit a cover letter with the refreshed application. Indicate that you are refreshing your application for the new council round, include the previous application number, and provide the previous study section assignment.
• Make the application a "new" or  "resubmission" to match the withdrawn application.
• All replacement applications are due by November 20. No late applications will be allowed for this special due date.
• Only applicants who are rescheduled for May 2014 Council round may submit at the November 20th deadline.  Any other applications to this deadline will be returned without review.
