RFA-OD-22-017 - Open Competition: Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Pregnancy Cohort Study Sites. Clinical Trial Not Allowed (UG3/UH3)
Office of The Director, National Institutes of Health (OD)
The R&R Budget Form for RFA-OD-22-017 incorrectly supports 5 budget periods, which is corrected by this Notice to allow 7 budget periods.
The application forms package originally posted with RFA-OD-22-017 mistakenly included an R&R Budget form which only supports 5 budget periods. However, the announcement states, "The maximum period of the combined UG3 and UH3 phases is 7 years, with a maximum of 2 years for the UG3 phase and a maximum of 5 years for the UH3 phase. Recipients must complete the entire project by August 31, 2029."
To address this issue, a new application forms package which can accommodate all the budget periods is available on Grants.gov identified by a Competition ID of ‘FORMS-G-REVISED’. If you initiated an application using the original (FORMS-G) package, you must move the application information to the FORMS-G-REVISED application package to successfully submit.
Note: ASSIST, Workspace and many institutional system-to-system solutions allow application data to be easily copied from one application package to another. In this case, the “copy” feature will move all but your budget data to the --new form package. Contact appropriate support team for assistance (ASSIST – eRA Service Desk; Workspace – Grants.gov Contact Center).
To accommodate this change, the due date is being changed from November 21, 2022 to November 29, 2022. Further, the expiration date is extended to November 30, 2022.
