IMPLEMENTATION OF MODIFICATIONS OF THE NIH GUIDE NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 33, September 16, 1994 P.T. 16 Keywords: Information Science/Systems SCIENCE PLANNING/POLICY National Institutes of Health The next issue of the NIH Guide (Vol. 23, No. 34, September 23, 1994) will comply with the revised policies for format and distribution. The printed edition will include Notices of Availability of Program Announcements (PAs), Requests for Applications (RFAs), and Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and policy notices. The full text of the PAs and RFAs is available online on several platforms as described below, and may be obtained electronically by sending a request via email to NIH program staff identified under the INQUIRIES section of each PA and RFA. 1. Electronic Subscriptions to the NIH Guide The NIHGDE-L list is open for subscriptions from individuals. To minimize the possibility of errors, it is best for each person to subscribe him/herself to the list. Subscribing and unsubscribing to/from a list is done via e-mail. BITNET users should send mail to LISTSERV@JHUVM, and Internet users to LISTSERV@JHUVM.HCF.JHU.EDU. To subscribe to the E-Guide list, the text of the mail should be: SUBSCRIBE NIHGDE-L First-name Last-name The First & Last names should be in upper & lower case; e.g.: SUBSCRIBE NIHGDE-L Bill Jones This will register the e-mail address from which the mail was sent for E-Guide distribution. If you wish to have the E-Guide sent to an address from which mail cannot be sent (e.g., an internal distribution list), send mail to WKJ@NIHCU (BITNET) or WKJ@CU.NIH.GOV (Internet). To remove yourself from this list, send mail to LISTSERV@JHUVM (or LISTSERV@JHUVM.HCF.JHU.EDU) containing as the text: UNSUBSCRIBE NIHGDE-L 2. Table of Contents Some users who subscribed to the NIHGDE-L list had problems with the volume of mail that was received each week. They would prefer to see a table of contents, and access the NIH Guide files via Gopher when necessary. For that purpose, the NIHTOC-L list has been established at the NIH. It will contain only the table of contents for each week's NIH Guide. It is an open list that one can subscribe to by sending mail to LISTSERV@NIHLIST or LISTSERV@LIST.NIH.GOV (Internet). The mail should contain as text: SUBSCRIBE NIHTOC-L First-name Last-name If you do subscribe to the NIHTOC-L list and are already subscribed to the NIHGDE-L list, you will probably want to UNSUBSCRIBE from that list. 3. NIH Grant Line Bulletin Board The NIH Grant Line includes information about NIH extramural programs, including the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. A new feature on the NIH Grant Line allows the rapid transmission of files via Bitnet or Internet to a Bitnet or Internet address instead of downloading via a modem. To access the NIH Grant Line, the terminal emulator must be configured as follows: 1200 or 2400 baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, half duplex. Using the procedure specified in the communication software, dial 1-301-402-2221. When a response indicates that a connection has been made, type ,GEN1 (the comma is mandatory) and press ENTER; the NIH system will prompt for INITIALS?. Type BB5 and press ENTER. A prompt will ask for ACCOUNT? Type CCS2 and press ENTER. Messages and a menu will be displayed that allow one to read Bulletins and download Files. Back issues of the NIH Guide are found in different Directories. GUIDE90 has issues going back to July 6, 1990; GUIDE91, GUIDE92, and GUIDE93 have all issues for each year. Type F (for FILES) to access any of the files that are arranged into directories. To get an overview of the kinds of information available, type D (for Directory). Access to NIH Grant Line via the Internet To access the NIH Grant Line in an interactive Internet session, Telnet to WYLBUR.CU.NIH.GOV and, when a message has been received that the connection is open, type VT100. At the INITIALS? prompt, type BB5 and at the ACCOUNT? prompt, type CCS2. This puts the user into the NIH Grant Line. 4. NIH Gopher The NIH Gopher contains information about the NIH, including the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, and has text searching capability. One can tunnel to the NIH Gopher at gopher.nih.gov, if one has access to a system with a Gopher client. Local computer support staff should be consulted for additional information.
