AHRQ and NIH Continue To Transition to Electronic Grant Applications:
All AHRQ R01 research grant applications for the February 5 deadline and all NIH RO1 research grant applications must be submitted electronically using form set SF 424 (R&R). To provide a secure environment, the submission of electronic applications to NIH and AHRQ will require organizations to register with both Grants.gov and the NIH eRA Commons (Commons). One-time registrations for both Grants.gov and the eRA Commons systems must be completed before application submission. Applicants should submit applications early—ideally 4 weeks before the deadline. This transition continues through May 2007 for AHRQ and until the end of 2007 for NIH.
