Dear Colleagues:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued guidance for the extramural community during the current lapse in federal government funding. Please see NIH NOT-OD-26-036: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-26-036.html.
NIH advises that applicants should continue to submit applications in accordance with the due dates specified in the Notices of Funding Opportunities. The upcoming R01 and U01 deadline remains February 5th (this Thursday at 5:00 p.m. PT).
Please note that the eRA Commons helpdesk is unavailable during the funding lapse. Due to this unavailability of NIH technical support, Sponsored Projects strongly recommends completing any applications well in advance of the 5:00 p.m. deadline.
If you have any questions, please contact your assigned Federal Contracts and Grants Officer at https://research.uci.edu/about-or/contact/staff-by-dept-assignment/ or me at warnerj@uci.edu.
Regards,
Jeff Warner
Senior Director, Sponsored Projects
