NATIONAL NEWSNIH Announces Plans to Eliminate Mailing of Paper Notifications: Summary Statements & Peer Review Outcome Letters The NIH continues towards its goal of a paperless grants process through the elimination of the following notifications which are currently sent in hard copy: Summary Statements and Peer Review Outcome Letters. Applicant organizations must be registered in the eRA Commons in order for Investigators to establish an account. The NIH strongly encourages Principal Investigators to contact their institution’s Office of Sponsored Programs for registration guidance. Over the next two grant review cycles, the NIH will discontinue mailing the following two kinds of documents: Summary Statements: Beginning October 1, 2005, NIH will no longer send hard copies of the Summary Statements to Principal Investigators (PIs) and Individual Fellows Applicants. Review Outcome “Mailers”: Beginning February 1, 2006, the NIH will no longer send hard copies of the notification letter (also known as a “mailer”) to PIs and Fellows regarding the review outcome of an application by the SRG. In order to avoid delays in the e-notification process, it is vital that all Grantee Organizations, Principal lnvestigators, and Individual Fellows are registered in the eRA Commons and e-mail addresses are checked periodically for accuracy.
