Delays in Grant Application Submission due to Hurricane Isaac

Notice Number: NOT-OD-12-145

Key Dates
Release Date: August 29, 2012

Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH)

The NIH realizes that there may be problems for organizations in submitting grant applications due to the widespread damage caused by Hurricane Isaac.  The usual NIH practice for such circumstances will apply.  Electronic and paper applications submitted late because of these events must include a cover letter noting the reasons for the delay.  It is not necessary to get permission in advance for such delays in grant application submissions.  The delay should not exceed the time period that an applicant organization/institution is closed. 

NIH has established a Web page on the NIH Extramural Response to Natural Disasters that provides information on a variety of topics:   https://grants.nih.gov/grants/natural_disasters.htm.
