At this time, the NIH has not issued any guidance regarding non-competing progress reports due during the period the Commons was offline.
Processing Applications Submitted During the Shutdown
On a case-by-case basis, UNMC submitted a small number of NIH applications during the shutdown. These applications should be available for viewing in the Commons from October 22-23, 2013. If any changes need to be made to an application, it should be rejected from the Commons during this two-day viewing window.
Award Actions
The NIH anticipates beginning to release awards after November 1, 2013.
