Re: late-breaking letter of support Schmitt, Andrea L 09 Oct 2011 23:49 EST

Hello,  I have a question related to the email below on late support letters....  have a similar situation and looking for advice on how to handle....

Has anyone been successful in having NIH accept support letters after the deadline and prior to Scientific review,   under the new policy?    http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-115.html.

I have a PI who already knows he won't get the signed support letter in time for the K01 deadline on 10/12,  the consultant is out of town and sent an email (excerpt pasted below).     The PI emailed the  scientific contact for the program announcement to ask if the letter can be submitted late.   I don't think we will get a response in time for the deadline.       Should we include the email in the proposal submission and take a chance the SRO will accept it when we get it later?  include the draft letter and the email attached?     any other advice on how to handle?

excerpt from email from consultant....."  I received your email with the draft of the letter and your project sounds very interesting. As I mentioned, I will be pleased to serve as a consultant but am out of town until Oct 18th. I have no way to edit the letter or any way to put it on my letterhead with signature until I return. I can only suggest sending my Biosketch with the promise of a letter after October 18th. .....Sent from my iPhone"

Thanks!
-Andrea

I think such documents fall in a grey area of the new supplemental materials guidelines.  I'd give it a try.  SROs generally accept this stuff up until one month prior to IRG meeting.

Have PI check with SRO.

I just covered this as part of a presentation to faculty yesterday.  Unless the R01 is a special FOA with only one deadline, or the letter is the result of some unforeseen administrative change in personnel, the answer is probably no.

The new post-submission materials policy spells this out pretty clearly: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-10-115.html

That said, you could always take a change and have the PI claim ignorance and ask the SRO about this.  You run the risk of irritating the SRO, which is a call you and the PI would have to make.

To all of you NIH gurus out there:

We have received a letter of support for a recent R01 submission, after the deadline.  Is there any way to get it appended to our application?
