Change in Standing Receipt Dates for AIDS and AIDS-related applications for NIH/AHRQ Beginning in May 2007

Notice Number: NOT-OD-07-053

Key Dates
Release Date: February 23, 2007
Effective Date: May 7, 2007

Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH) (http://www.nih.gov)
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (http://www.ahrq.gov/)

Update: The following update relating to this announcement has been issued:

  • September 17, 2007 - See Notice (NOT-OD-07-093) NIH/NIOSH FOA's Expiration Dates will be adjusted to Accommodate Recent Changes to Standing Submission Deadlines.
  • August 30, 2007 - See Notice (NOT-HS-07-004) Change in Standing Receipt Dates for AHRQ Post-Doctoral Fellowship Grants (F32).
The purpose of this Notice is to inform the research community of a change in standard receipt dates for AIDS and AIDS-related grant applications submitted to NIH and AHRQ. The new receipt dates will be effective as of May 7, 2007 and will apply to both paper and electronic applications.

In October 2006 NIH and AHRQ announced a spreading of due dates that involved all applications except AIDS (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-001.html). Since then organizations have noted that the January 2 date causes particular problems for many institutions that are closed or have very low staffing at the end of December. Therefore, effective May 7, 2007 the due dates for AIDS applications are May 7, September 7, and January 7. It was felt that it would be easiest to use the same date for all three cycles. Note that all competing AIDS applications (except those submitted to Funding Opportunity Announcements with special dates) are due on those dates. This includes paper and electronic submissions for review in the Center for Scientific Review and the various Institutes/Centers. It includes new, renewal (formerly termed competing continuation), resubmission (formerly called revision or amended), and revision (formerly identified as supplemental) applications for all mechanisms.

The table below incorporates this change for the standard receipt dates. Applications for Request for Applications (RFAs) and Program Announcements (PAs, PARs, PASs) with special receipt dates continue to be due on the specified dates listed in the FOA.

The move to electronic applications also has brought a change in terminology. The new Grants.gov terminology (included in the table above) corresponds to traditional NIH terms as follows:
New = new
Resubmission = a revised or amended application
Renewal = Competing Continuation
Continuation = Noncompeting Progress Report
Revision = Competing Supplement

** Institutional Research Training Grants (T32) are accepted by many NIH Institutes and Centers (IC) for only one or two of the dates. Applicants should contact the relevant IC for specific dates.

The following resources continue to be available for assistance in the electronic submission of grant applications to NIH and AHRQ through Grants.gov:
