NSF has released its new grants submission guidelines for 2019 (PAPPG 19-1), which is open now for community comment. The new guidelines will be effective January 28, 2019.
One new form now required for all NIH proposals is the PHS Human Subjects and Clinical Trials Information (OMB Number: 0925-0001, Exp. 03/31/2020). If a project utilizes human blood, materials, or fluids, but does not qualify as human subjects research, it must explain the reason why it is exempt. Forms-E instructions for this form are available here. A helpful classification flowchart for Research Involving Private Information or Biological Specimens is also available.
