Planning around a deadline
Questions about NIH due dates
- What are NIH standard due dates?
- Most investigator-initiated applications go through parent announcements, which use NIH standard due dates: three review cycles a year, with separate dates for new applications, for renewals, resubmissions, and revisions, and for AIDS-related applications. The table on this page shows the next cycles exactly as each parent announcement lists them.
- Do RFAs and PARs use the standard due dates?
- Not always. Each NOFO lists its own key dates. Many program announcements use the standard dates, while RFAs usually set one or two special receipt dates. The calendar on this page lists each open NOFO under the dates it publishes; always confirm on the NOFO itself.
- What time are NIH applications due?
- NIH applications are due by 5:00 PM local time of the applicant organization on the due date. When a due date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, it moves to the next business day. Your sponsored programs office will usually set an internal deadline several days earlier.
