Delays in Grant Application Submission Due to Hurricane Frances
Notice Number:NOT-OD-04-065
Key Dates Release Date: September 9, 2004
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov/)
Hurricane Frances has caused widespread damage in Florida and other
states. The NIH realizes that this may lead to problems for
investigators who are planning on submitting grant applications.
Applications that are submitted late because of Hurricane Frances
should include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay. It is
not necessary to get permission in advance for hurricane-related delays
in grant application submissions. It is expected that the delay will
generally not exceed the time period that an institution is closed.
