Purpose

This notice informs the applicant and recipient communities of changes to grant application forms and application guide instructions for due dates on or after January 25, 2023.

The following application forms include substantive form changes (i.e., new/deleted/modified fields). All other forms include only an OMB expiration date change.

·         ---  PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental Form

·         ---  PHS 398 Research Training Program Plan

·         --- PHS Fellowship Supplemental Form

·         Key Changes:

For NIH, as part of the implementation of the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy, a new “Other Plan(s)” attachment field has been added to the PHS 398 Research Plan Form and the PHS 398 Career Development Award Supplemental Form. Applicants must attach the required Data Management and Sharing Plan in this new field in FORMS-H applications. See NOT-OD-21-013 and NOT-OD-22-189 for more information. Note: Although the 2023 NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy is not applicable to fellowship and institutional training grant applications, the new attachment field was added for potential future use with other plans.

Applications submitted using the incorrect application package for their due date will be withdrawn and removed from funding consideration.

Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI) and Other Support: Reminders

Notice Number:  NOT-OD-22-210

Purpose:

The purpose of this Guide Notice is twofold: (1) to remind the NIH extramural research community about the longstanding requirements provided in the financial conflict of interest (FCOI) regulation at 42 CFR Part 50 Subpart F, “Promoting Objectivity in Research” (FCOI regulation for grants and cooperative agreements). This requirement also is included in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIH GPS), Section 4.1.10, Financial Conflict of Interest, and serves as a term and condition of NIH grant awards. This Notice reminds the extramural applicants and recipient institutions of the requirements to develop a FCOI policy, to post it on their website and submit it to NIH, to ensure Investigator disclosure of both foreign and domestic Significant Financial Interests(SFI), to review Investigator SFIs, to determine if there is a FCOI that must be reported to NIH, and to train Investigators on FCOI requirements; and (2) to remind the NIH extramural research community of the requirement to submit complete and accurate Other Support information (NOT-OD-21-073) (NOT-OD-21-110).

Please refer to the full notice linked below for further details.
