The NIH issued a new policy (NOT-OD-25-132) that will impact proposal submissions beginning September 25, 2025. Key points:
- Application Cap: Each PI (or MPI team) will be limited to six applications per calendar year across all NIH deadlines.
- AI Use: NIH emphasizes that applications must reflect original scientific thought. Use of generative AI tools is permitted for drafting support, but final content must be authored by the PI/team.
