» New, Competing and Revised Grant Applications
NIH grants may be submitted as either modular or non-modular grants.
NIH has simplified the grant application process with the creation
of modular grants. Modular grants are more streamlined, in that detailed
budget breakdowns (the Detailed Budget for Initial Budget Period—Form
Page 4, as well as the Budget for Entire Proposed Project Period—Form
Page 5) are not required. Modular grants have the following application
requirements:
- Grants must not request more than $250,000 direct costs per year.
- Total direct costs should be requested in modules of $25,000 with
no future year escalations.
- Typical modular grants will request the same number of modules for
each year of support. The number of modules requested should be shown
on the Budget Justification Page (for Modular Research Grant
Applications).
- A budget narrative describing all personnel by position, title and
level of effort must be included. It should also include a total
cost estimate for any consortium/contractual agreements, as well as an
additional narrative should there be a variation in the number of
modules that are requested.
Both modular and non-modular grant application form pages (PHS398 forms)
along with application instructions for new, competing and revised applications
may be found at:

» Non-Competitive Renewal Grant Applications
NIH has also streamlined the process for the submission of information prior
to the issuance of a non-competing award. These streamlined instructions for
submitting the progress report require the following form pages:
- Face Page (Form Page 1)
- Progress Report Summary (Form Page 5)
- Personnel Report (Form Page 7)
- Biosketch(es), if there are new personnel
NIH non-competitive renewal application pages (PHS 2590 forms) as well
as instructions on completing these forms may be found at the following website:

following address:
Center for Scientific Review
National Institutes of Health

» Electronic Proposal Submissions
The NIH is currently in the development stages of an electronic proposal
submission program called Commons. This program will allow Principal
Investigators and/or Institutional Officials to submit new proposals,
view existing applications, check status of current applications, and other
pertinent information related to post-award grant management.
Although the system is currently in the testing phases, the Commons website
may still be accessed at:
