Dear Colleagues:
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued the following policy notice at the end of last week. If you have any questions, please contact your Federal Contracts and Grants Officer (https://research.uci.edu/about-or/contact/staff-by-dept-assignment/) or me at warnerj@uci.edu.
Reminder: NIH Applications Must Be Complete and Compliant with NIH Policy and Application Instructions at Time of Submission
