NIH sends automated notifications to institutions listing grant applications that were not selected for funding following three rounds of Council meetings. These batch notifications are sent about 20 months after the applications’ due dates. This process also changes the displayed status of the applications in eRA Commons.
If you or your institution receives a notification alerting you that a change was made to your application status, pay attention to the grant application number referenced in the message.
Given the time lag from application submission to unfunded application notification, you may have submitted a similarly titled application in the meantime. Avoid confusion by verifying which of your applications the notification is about.
No follow-up action is required on your part. This routine status change does not affect resubmissions. Learn more at Unfunded Application Notification.
