Effective for due dates on or after January 25, 2025, NIH will be implementing several trans-NIH initiatives to simplify the grants process for applicants and recipients as well as for peer review. NIH will be updating fellowship applications to improve fellowship peer review to facilitate the mission of these programs to identify the most promising candidates and individualized training opportunities that will assist them along their paths to support the advancement of the biomedical research enterprise. NIH will reduce the number of required attachments and updating instructions for the PHS Fellowship Supplemental Form to align with the revised review criteria. NIH will be updating institutional training grant applications, adding a new attachment field to the PHS 398 Research Training Program Plan form for the transparent collection of the Recruitment Plan to Enhance Diversity while also providing additional space for applicants within the Program Plan page limit where this information was previously collected. The Training Data Tables will be updated to reduce burden and promote consistent information collection, including limiting the scope of information collection to data only relevant to the training stage(s) of the proposed program in Table 1 and removing instructions in Table 8 that are reported within the RPPR. Effective for due dates on or after May 25, 2025, NIH will adopt the Common Forms for Biographical Sketch and Current and Pending (Other) Support as part of the directive from Guidance for Implementing National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM)-33. The Common Forms are part of a separate OMB collection, approved under 3145-0279. Elements that will be collected within the Common Forms will be removed from NIHâs current NIH Biosketch and Other Support formats. NIH will continue to collect information not captured on the Common Forms to adhere to the agencyâs implementation of the NIH Peer Review Regulations at 42 CFR Part 52 as part of the NIH Biosketch form, to be renamed the NIH Biographical Sketch Supplement, to reflect the supplemental information requested. The application and progress report forms and associated instructions will be updated to align with these new requirements.
