I apologize for not keeping up but my new SUN 386i arrived about two months ago. It was only recently that I got the parallel port to respond (bugs in the OS) and am still having trouble with the serial port. I will try to do better in the future.

Otherwise, the application will be returned to the applicant. This new procedure, which was announced in the previous issues of the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts (March 18, April 1, and June 10, 1988), was introduced to help expedite the review of fellowship applications. It was effective beginning with the May 10, 1988, receipt date. This procedure pertains to individual postdoctoral fellowship (F32) applications, individual predoctoral fellowship (F31) applications, senior fellowship (F33) applications, international fellowship (F05-Fogarty International Center) applications, and senior international fellowship (F06-Fogarty International Center) applications. DATED ANNOUNCEMENTS BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH SUPPORT GRANT APPLICATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1989 P.T. 34; K.W. 0710030 Division of Research Resources Application Receipt Date: December 30, 1988 BACKGROUND The Biomedical Research Support Grant (BRSG) Program is designed to provide funds to eligible institutions (i.e., those significantly engaged in health-related research) to strengthen their programs by allowing flexibility to meet emerging opportunities in research; to explore new and unorthodox ideas; and to use these research funds in ways and for purposes which, in the judgment of the grantee institution, would contribute most effectively to the furtherance of their research program. ELIGIBILITY Awards are made to non-profit institutions, not directly to individual investigators. Health professional schools, other academic institutions, hospitals, state and municipal health agencies, and research organizations may apply, if during FY 1988 (October 1, 1987 through September 30, 1988), the institution was awarded a minimum of three allowable PHS biomedical or health-related behavioral research grants and/or cooperative agreements, totaling $200,000 (including direct and indirect costs). Federal institutions, foreign institutions, and profit-making institutions are not eligible. NOTE: "Other academic institutions" includes, as a single eligible component, all other schools, departments, colleges and free-standing institutes of the institution other than the health professional schools of a university. AWARD CONDITIONS The BRSG award is for one year with eligibility determined annually. The start date is April 1. Awards are contingent upon the availability of funds. The amount of each BRSG award is based upon a formula that is applied to the total costs awarded for allowable PHS research grants. METHOD OF APPLYING BRSG application kits (Form NIH-147-1) will be mailed on or about November 27 to institutions that, according to NIH records, are eligible to apply for a BRSG. Completed BRSG applications must be received by December 30, 1988. Vol. 17, No. 37, November 11, 1988 - Page 1 If an institution believes that it is eligible and has not received an application kit, please submit a letter of request to: Mrs. Gilda Polletto Grants Management Specialist Office of Grants and Contracts Management Division of Research Resources Building 31, Room 5B32 National Institutes of Health 9000 Rockville Pike Bethesda, Maryland 20892 This program is described in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance, No. 13.337, Biomedical Research Support. Grants will be awarded under the authority of the Public Health Service Act, Section 301 (a)(3); Public Law 86-798, (42 USC 241) and administered under PHS grant policies and Federal Regulations 45 CFR Part 74 and the Biomedical Research Support Grant Information Statement and Administrative Guidelines. This program is not subject to the intergovernmental review requirements of the Executive Order 12372 or Health Systems Agency review. PHS POLICY RELATING TO DISTRIBUTION OF UNIQUE RESEARCH RESOURCES PRODUCED WITH PHS FUNDING P.T. 34, 36; K.W. 1014002 Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration The Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Administration was inadvertently omitted from the policy statement published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, Vol. 17, No. 19, Pages 1-2, September 16, 1988.
