NIH Format Changes: Part IIThursday, December 10, 2009 from Noon - 1:00pm - Mac Hall 2201
Part II of our workshop outlining the NIH format changes. New formatting requirements take effect for most NIH grants starting January 25th, 2010. Following up on the discussion in November, we will briefly outline a broad overview of what is changing, and highlight the new information that has been released and what it means for you. Since we last met, the NIH released the revised application forms (PHS 398) needed to submit your proposal under the new formatting requirements, and further guidelines for navigating the change. We will discuss the new forms and guidance, as well as have representatives from Research Grants & Contracts available to answer questions and explain how many of the changes will implemented on a practical level, including how this impacts InfoEd submissions.
