Submitting the Application

<< previous · tutorial index · next >>

Never put other support in the application.
New and early-stage investigators have only one special action: make sure your institution sets up an eRA Commons account for you about a month ahead of time.

For guidance on submitting an application and passing validations, read Do You Need a Cover Letter? and Part 7. Applying in the NIH Grant Cycle: Application to Renewal.

Find answers to questions about application details such as When is my application due? in Quick Facts on Research Grant Applications.

Not all required information goes in the application. You will send some items to NIH just-in-time, i.e., only if your application is within the range of possible funding. This approach is used for other support and several for human subjects and animal research documents.

Do not submit other support (called current and pending support in the Grant Application Package) with your application. If you do, NIH may delay processing or return your application to you without a peer review.

Other support is not research support, which is part of the biographical sketch. Read You Will Send Some Materials Just-in-Time in the NIH Grant Cycle: Application to Renewal to learn how the two differ.
