REMINDER AND CLARIFICATION   DELIVERY OF COMPETING GRANT, COOPERATIVE 
AGREEMENT, AND FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS

RELEASE DATE:  April 22, 2003

NOTICE:  NOT-OD-03-040 (Also see NOT-OD-02-012)

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The Division of Receipt and Referral, Center for Scientific Review, 
National Institutes of Health, would like to inform investigators 
submitting grant applications that 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.
