- Many NOFOs are being reissued to include the simplified review framework information in Section V.
The following can be helpful to ensure that you are responding to the correct NOFO:
- Check the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts.
- Subscribe to the NIH weekly Table of Contents (TOC).
- Be sure to check the expiration date in the key dates section of your NOFO.
- If you already started an application under one NOFO, NIH Assist and Grants.gov have copy features that will allow you to move most of your work to the correct NOFO.
