Audience: This webinar is designed for investigators and administrators who are considering submitting grant applications in response to funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) for multi-project applications that require electronic submission.

Purpose: NIH has begun to roll out a system for electronic submission of multi-project applications. A handful of FOAs are being published that require electronic submission of multi-project applications as part of the system pilot. A listing of the FOAs participating in the pilot can be found on the multi-project application electronic submission transition timeline. (See Guide Notice NOT-OD-12-161 for more information on the transition).

This webinar will instruct applicants how to develop, submit, and track a multi-project application on-line using the new ASSIST (Application Submission System & Interface for Submission Tracking) tool. NIH experts will show applicants how to set up their application; navigate the system; set access controls to allow people to work concurrently on the application; run a check against NIH and Grants.gov business rules to find errors; and view an application image before submitting.
