Issued by

Office of The Director, National Institutes of Health (OD)

Purpose

This Notice extends the special exception for post-submission material (see NOT-OD-20-123) to applications submitted for the May 2021 Council round.

For applications submitted for the May 2021 council (beginning with applications submitted for the September 25, 2020 due date for Spring 2021 review meetings), the NIH, AHRQ, and NIOSH will accept a one-page update with preliminary data as post-submission materials for applications submitted under all activity codes, ONLY if the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) used for submission allowed preliminary data in the application. One page of preliminary data will be accepted for single component applications or for each component of a multi-component application.

The deadline for submitting all post-submission materials, including preliminary data, will be 30 days before the study section meeting. Because applications for emergency competitive revisions and urgent competitive revisions undergo expedited review, post-submission materials will not be accepted for those applications.

All other materials listed in NOT-OD-19-083 as acceptable post-submission materials will continue to be accepted if submitted 30 days before the study section meeting.
