DELAYS IN GRANT APPLICATION SUBMISSION DUE TO TROPICAL STORM ALLISON Release Date: June 13, 2001 (REVISED: See NOT-OD-01-042) NOTICE: NOT-OD-01-041 National Institutes of Health Some institutions in Texas and Louisiana have had significant damage due to Tropical Storm Allison. The NIH realizes that this may cause problems for investigators who are planning to submit grant applications (both competing and non-competing) for the July 1 receipt date. Applications that are submitted late because of Tropical Storm Allison should include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay. It is not necessary to get permission in advance for weather-related delays in grant application submission. In addition, Principal Investigators and Program Officials who have experienced damage or losses to their research are encouraged to contact their Program Official about these losses. NIH will publish a follow-up announcement on resources available to NIH grantees and contractors. (See NOT-OD-01-045)
