Additional Changes to the NIH/AHRQ/NIOSH Policy on Post-Submission Materials

Notice Number NOT-OD-17-066 expands the National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health post-submission materials policy to include citations to issued patents as allowable post-submission materials. This notice applies to applications submitted for proposals due on or after Sept. 25, 2017. Post-submission materials are those submitted after submission of the grant application but prior to initial peer review. They are not intended to correct oversights or errors discovered after submission of the application, but rather allow applicants the opportunity to respond to unforeseen events.
