Purpose

This notice reminds the biomedical and health services research communities that applicants must use FORMS-E application packages for due dates on or after January 25, 2018 and must use FORMS-D application packages for due dates on or before January 24, 2018 (see NOT-OD-17-062 for details).

Applicants are encouraged to submit early to allow time to work through any unforeseen issues.

Additional Updates:

• FORMS-E Grant Application Instructions are now posted on the How to Apply - Application Guide page (NOT-OD-17-119).
  


• FORMS-E application packages are currently being posted to active Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) with due dates on or after January 25, 2018. We expect to complete this process by November 25, 2017.


• FORMS-E application packages will not be added to Parent announcements since they will be reissued for due dates on or after January 25, 2018.
  


• FORMS-E application packages will not be added to FOAs that will be reissued to allow clinical trials for due dates on or after January 25, 2018.

For a transition period, both FORMS-D and FORMS-E application packages and instructions will be active. Applicants must choose the appropriate application package and associated instructions for their due date when presented with both FORMS-D and FORMS-E application packages on the same FOA.

Applications submitted using the incorrect application package for their due date may be withdrawn and removed from funding consideration.
