Re: Cover Letter for Late Re-submission Holly Adams 13 Jul 2007 15:49 EST
Thank you Sherie - this is the information I needed. -Holly >>> "Donahue, Sherie (LLU)" <xxxxxx@LLU.EDU> 7/13/2007 4:31 PM >>> I contacted the NIH's Center for Scientific Review about this last fall. A lady named Hope instructed me that for the investigators that are on a study section, a 2 week "extension" will be granted. The PI must put the study section participation in the cover letter as a reason why the grant is submitted after the due date. She told me that technically NIH does not give extensions, however, it considers participation in a study section a "reason for consideration" in allowing the grant to be turned in past the deadline. This is what one of our PIs recently put in their cover letter addressed to the CSR: "I realize that this grant is submitted after the July 5 deadline. It is my understanding that extensions of up to 14 days can be granted for specific circumstances, one of which is service on a Study Section. Because I served and a member of the _____ study section (dates of the study section), I am requesting this extension. Thank you for your consideration and assistance." I hope this helps.

Does anyone have an example or know the appropriate formatting?
