Communications from the Chief Scientific Officer

Colleagues,

Please note that NIH Notice NOT-OD-25-113, issued in May 15, 2025, announces the early expiration of several Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) due to the implementation of a new peer review framework for most research project grant (RPG) applications.

As part of this transition, NIH identified a number of NOFOs that were not updated or reissued with the new review criteria. A list can be found at the link below.  Consequently, these NOFOs will expire at the end of the current application cycle, with the final due date being May 24, 2025. NIH will accept R01, R21 and R34 continuous submission applications intended for the standard May 7, 2025 AIDS due date through June 1, 2025 (end of the standard continuous submission receipt period). No applications for due dates on or after May 25, 2025 will be accepted.

Consult the NIH Grants & Funding website for the most current information on active funding opportunities and to ensure compliance with the new simplified review framework.

Thanks,

Mike
