NIH Offers Grant Extensions for Some Research Grantees Affected by COVID-19

NIH recently announced that F and K research grant recipients directly affected by COVID-19 may apply for no-cost extensions and funded extensions ( NOT-OD-21-052 ). NIH and authorized organization officials will consider extension requests on a case-by-case basis, subject to the availability of funds.

NIH fellowship (F) and NIH career development (K) grants support early-career scientists at the predoctoral, postdoctoral, and faculty levels. Each request should outline how the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the grant recipient’s training and career development. Extensions may be subject to additional requirements.

More information on submitting a request is available here .
