Planning to submit a new or resubmission application to NIH? We have updated our application guide and supplemental instructions.
In addition to incorporating policy changes summarized in NOT-OD-16-004, the
updated (FORMS-D) application guide has been restructured and streamlined.
Updates to form instructions are listed at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/how-to-apply-application-guide/forms-d/general/g.120-significant-changes.htm. Learn more in NOT-OD-16-084.
It’s also not too early to check that you have
all your required registrations (SAM must be renewed annually) and see if the new ASSIST
electronic submission option is right for you (it makes
collaboration and submission easier).

In the health community, mobile
health apps often fall into a grey zone of unknown regulatory oversight. The
Federal Trade Commission has recently launched a tool to help app developers
understand what federal laws apply to their technology.
