NIH Guideline Changes
(see notice:
NOT-OD-09-025)
Beginning January 25, 2010, NIH will be using
the new, restructured versions of the PHS 398
and SF 424 (R & R) application packages.
These changes will include
shortened page limits and restructuring of the
Research Plan.
New program announcements and the
new versions of the PHS 398 and SF 424 are due
out in December, 2009. For now, here is a taste
of what to expect.
