Grant Application Attachments without Format Pages

Grant applications include many attachments. NIH provides format pages to use as a template for some but not all attachment content. The Form Instructions on How to Apply – Application Guide indicate whether a format page is available for a specific attachment. If no format page is available, follow the attachment guidance in the Form Instructions, funding opportunity, and Format Attachments page.

Examples of attachments without format pages (not a comprehensive list):

• Project Summary/Abstract
• Project Narrative
• Bibliography & References Cited
• Facilities & Other Resources
• Equipment
• Letters of Support
• Consortium/Contractual Arrangements
• Protection of Human Subjects Statement
• Vertebrate Animal Section (see Write Your Application)
