Re: Question RE: late submission of an R15 electronic submission to the NIH because of study section duties Robert Beattie 17 Oct 2006 11:26 EST

Guidelines say to enclose a cover letter explaining late Grants.gov
submissions.  Seems just like the paper process.  My concern would be
when Grants.gov shuts down the submission process for this program.
We have done NIH applications a few days after the deadline with no
problem.  These were PI rejections that we resubmitted (with cover
letter).  We did an EPA application, however, the day after the
deadline, and it was rejected.  This is good publicity for early
submission :)

At workshops, I get the same question about PI's in study sections.
See page I-26 of the NIH Application Guide for the text on late
applications.  Especially note, " Permission is not granted in
advance for submission of a late application."   So, I am looking
forward to hearing from others who did 2 week late applications.
Maybe someone from NIH can give us the definitive answer

Good morning-

I thought I’d ask this of the list, b/c I’m likely to get a much
quicker reply.

We have a PI who is has been granted an additional 2 weeks to submit
her R15 (deadline is October 25th) because she on a NIH study section.

With paper submissions, we always sent the NIH a note along with the
grant proposal, indicating that the PI had additional time as a
result of taking part in the study section.

Does anyone know if there is anything special we need to do to submit
the electronic application late? Will Grants.gov/NIH accept late
applications?

As always, I really appreciate your feedback.

Cheers,

Pam
