If an application is submitted in the traditional budget format, will it be returned or will you request or require revised budget narrative pages at a later date?
The NIH screens applications (paper and electronic submissions) for compliance with requirements, including appropriate budget submission. When applications are identified that are not in compliance, the investigators will be contacted and given a short period of time to correct the problem. If the application cannot be corrected in that time period, deferral to the next receipt and review cycle may be necessary. This spot-checking will not necessarily identify all applications with compliance problems. If reviewers or other NIH staff identify noncompliant applications later in the process, applications may be deferred or withdrawn at that time.
