Application Guide Updates

NIH's How to: Application Guide will be updated with FORMS-G information no later than October 25th, 2021.

Application Package Availability

For a transition period, both FORMS-F and FORMS-G application packages will be active and available. Applicants must choose the appropriate application package for their due date.

  • New funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) posted on or after October 25, 2021 will include the new FORMS-G application package.
  • New FOAs posted before October 25, 2021 with initial due dates on or after January 25, 2022 will be posted without application forms until updated forms are available.
    • Application packages will be added to these FOAs by November 25, 2021.
  • All active Parent and IC-issued FOAs with due dates on or after January 25, 2022 will be updated to add FORMS-G application packages between October 25, 2021 and November 25, 2021.

For due dates occurring on or before January 24th, 2022, continue to use FORMS-F.

NOTE: Building an application package using FORMS-F to respond to an active FOA with a due date on or after January 25th will lead to re-work of the materials in updated FORMS-G. Please consider timing and use FORMs-G for applications due on or after January 25th.
