A summary of new NIH policy changes

On the award side, the National Institutes of Health have made some changes to their policies on:

• final progress reports
• training for investigators involved in NIH-funded clinical trials, and
• reporting of NIH-funded clinical trials.

On the proposal side, there are changes in policy regarding:

• the items allowed to be included in appendices
• post-submission materials, and
• acceptable fonts/text color.

Finally, starting tomorrow you may submit an interim progress report rather than a final report if you are ending one grant cycle and waiting for the next cycle to begin. See this webpage for complete details and links to the Notices involved.
