How many times can you resubmit an NIH grant?
Generally speaking, the NIH allows you to make one resubmission after the original submission. You are typically allowed one additional page at the beginning of the resubmission (the “Introduction to the Resubmission”), in which you respond to the comments from the previous review.
How does the grant process work?
The grant process follows a linear lifecycle that includes creating the funding opportunity, applying, making award decisions, and successfully implementing the award. The specific actions along the lifecycle are grouped into three main phases. Post Award – Implementation, Reporting, and Closeout.
How do I close my grant?
The grant close-out is the process by which the funding agency determines that all applicable administrative actions and all required work associated with the award have been completed. If an awardee does not seek a supplemental grant or a no-cost extension on the completion date, the grant is closed out.
What is the life cycle of a grant?
The Grants Life Cycle has three major stages: pre-award, award, and post-award. The applicant / recipient and awarding agency have unique roles in each stage. The duration of an award may vary depending on the nature of the project.

How are grants awarded?
A grant (or cooperative agreement) for which the federal awarding agency generally may select the recipient from among all eligible recipients, may decide to make or not make an award based on the programmatic, technical, or scientific content of an application, and can decide the amount of funding to be awarded.
What is a unilateral closeout?
The policy chapter directs Institutes/Centers (ICs) to initiate a unilateral closeout – a closeout without the cooperation of the grantee – 180 days after the project end date if it has not received acceptable final reports required by the terms and conditions of an award.
How long does it take to write a grant?
Private grants take a minimum of three weeks once the writing begins. Government grants can take at least four weeks. If you need something faster, ask us about rush rates! We’ll work nights and weekends to meet your deadline if that’s what you need.
How long does it take to close out a grant?
The closeout process can take several months if there are financial concerns or questions to reconcile. Also, if you or your organization acquired any property using grant funding, the closeout step is when you must make sure to handle this property exactly as the grant stipulates, which includes completing the appropriate reports on this property.
What happens to the final report of a NIH grant?
Even after you submit your final reports, you must keep your project records for three years after the grant ends. If any issue arises, we need to be able to verify the records, which must include all data and fiscal information. For detailed information, read Retention and Access Requirements for Records, 45 CFR Part 74.53.
When do you have to report a grant to the OMB?
According to the OMB Uniform Grants Guidance §200.343, the receipt must submit all financial, performance, and other reports required under the grant within 90 days after the grant award expires or is terminated.
How long do you have to retain grant records?
Lastly, you are typically required to retain your grant records for at least three years from the date of the final expenditure report.
