Working on an NIH Grant Application? Make Sure You Are Using the Right Forms!

NIH is transitioning to an updated set of application forms we refer to as FORMS-F. Use FORMS-F forms for grant application due dates on or after May 25, 2020 and FORMS-E for due dates on or before May 24, 2020.

For tips on navigating this transition, see our previous Nexus post, guide notices (NOT-OD-20-026, NOT-OD-20-077), and the resources listed below.
