NIH Important Notices – July 31, 2015

Dear Colleagues:

The following notice was included in Friday’s NIH Guide. Please read and redistribute to faculty and researchers, as appropriate. If you have any questions, please contact your Contract and Grant Officer.

NOT-OD-15-129 – Prior NIH Approval of Human Subjects Research in Active Awards Initially Submitted without Definitive Plans for Human Subjects Involvement (Delayed Onset Awards): Updated Notice

This updated Notice continues to clarify NIH requirements related to prior NIH approval of human subjects research plans for awards which were submitted with the intent to conduct human subjects research during the period of support, but for which definitive plans could not be described in the grant application. This is a revision of a prior notice and is almost identical to the previous notice (NOT-OD-12-130) with a few edits/additions to the language to further clarify expectations regarding NIH policies for the inclusion of women, minorities, and children. Additional information contained in the complete notice.

Regards,

Jeff Warner

Supervising Principal Contract and Grant Officer
