Reminder: Application Requirements for Projects Involving Activities Outside of the United States or Partnerships with International Collaborators

NIH would like to remind the extramural research community about long-standing application requirements for projects involving activities outside of the United States or partnerships with international collaborators.

NIH supports properly conducted and principled international collaborations that are integral for our country to remain competitive. For NIH to fully assess all foreign activities and collaborations prior to award:

• The SF-424 R&R Other Project Information Form requires applicants to indicate whether the project involves activities outside of the United States or partnerships with international collaborators.
• Applicants who check “Yes” to this question must include a “Foreign Justification” attachment in Field 12, Other Attachments.

More information is available in the Guide Notice for reference.
