All research grant applications for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will have to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov using the SF424 Research & Related (R&R) form set by May 2007. The transition began in December 2005, with SBIR/STTR and R13 Conference applications and will continue on a grant program by program basis (see timeline at http://era.nih.gov/ElectronicReceipt/strategy_timeline.htm).

NIH will hold two training sessions on January 11, 2006 geared toward the applicant community, which will provide an overview of NIH's transition plans, the submission process and the new form set.

  • Session #1: 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST
    Natcher Main Auditorium, NIH Campus, Bethesda , MD
  • Session #2: 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST
    Natcher Main Auditorium, NIH Campus, Bethesda , MD

The sessions will be available for both in-person attendance and remote viewing via VideoCast, NIH's streaming video service. Due to limits in the number of concurrent viewers, VideoCast participants are encouraged to view the sessions in groups to allow for maximum participation.
