NIH has updated and added FAQs, adjusted other documentation, and posted other instructional supports in response to the questions many recipients have transitioning to the updated formats for biosketch and other supports.

Below is what has been posted to the website regarding these FAQs,

“Here’s a sample of new/updated FAQs:

• NIH does not allow electronic signatures on attachments in electronic applications. Will electronic signatures be accepted on Other Support submissions?
• Do outside consulting activities have to be reported in Other Support?
• Does NIH require disclosure of recently completed support in Other Support?
• The Biosketch instructions state that all positions and scientific appointments must be provided. Does this refer to active positions and appointments, or all positions a researcher has ever held?

Look for the ‘updated‘ and ‘new‘ stickers in our biosketch FAQs and other support FAQs for additional clarifications.
