NIH Issues First Funding Opportunity Announcements With Adobe Application

Posted

NIH is making progress toward the goal of adopting the new Adobe version of the SF424 (R&R) grant application form.  To that end, we have issued three Funding Opportunities Announcements (FOAs) to pilot the transition from PureEdge to Adobe-based grant application forms (as detailed in the May 23, 2008 NIH Guide Notice). Each of the pilot FOAs have application due dates in mid to late October.

The NIH SF424 (R&R) Application Guide for Adobe forms will be available on or before August 1, 2008. Although both the Adobe and PureEdge forms contain the same form fields and reqirements, the Adobe Guide will provide Adobe screen shots and Adobe-specific navigation instructions.

We will continue to update you on this process as developments occur.
