Delays in Grant Application Submission due to Widespread Blizzard
Notice Number: NOT-OD-11-040
Key Dates
Release Date: February 1, 2011
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
The NIH realizes that there may be problems for organizations in submitting grant applications due to the extensive blizzard. The usual NIH practice for such circumstances will apply. Electronic and paper applications submitted late because of weather problems must 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 submissions. The delay should not exceed the time period that an applicant organization/institution is closed.
NIH has established a Web page on the NIH Extramural Response to Natural Disasters that provides information on a variety of topics: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/natural_disasters.htm.
