Changes to the NIH/AHRQ Policy on Post-Submission Materials for Applications Submitted for Due Dates On or After January 25, 2017 (NOT-OD-16-130) National Institutes of Health Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality National Institute for Occupational

August 22, 2016

This Notice simplifies and consolidates current NIH and AHRQ policy concerning post-submission materials, and extends this policy to NIOSH. Post-submission application materials are those submitted after submission of the grant application but prior to the initial peer review. The policy is based on the principle that, for the majority of applications, the only post-submission materials that these agencies will accept are those resulting from an unforeseen event. The policy on post-submission application materials is not intended to correct oversights/errors discovered after submission of the application.
