Administrative Sections and Submission Process

Abstract

The administrative sections of your application are absolutely required for the grant application to be accepted for review and funding, and errors in these sections can cause delays and even rejection of applications without review. It is thus critical that you give proper attention to completing these sections according to NIH regulations and instructions. Familiarizing yourself with the requirements listed in the NIH guidelines for writing grant applications should be one of the first steps you take. The instructions for each administrative section can vary for different grants, so refer to the specific instructions for your application.
