Some of these added links don't go to websites as they were falsely identified as URLs by the NIH pdf assembly process. Links appear out of the blue in the eGrant. We would like to reference sites that do not provide publication-type citations, such a, , and ?Ģ) The submission process added links in our proposal where there were none in the original document. I have three questions:ġ) How should web resources be listed in the "Literature cited" section of RO1 proposal? Can you please give specific examples of what the text looks like?
If you have questions, contact the NIA SRB or leave a comment below. If not, please respect the boundaries set by NIH grant rules and general principles, which help us ensure that all applications receive equitable, fair review. Double check the FOAs and NIH guidance to make sure if the hyperlink you have in mind is allowed. So, before you copy that link to your institution’s facilities, lab website, or that new cool data in a big, online database into your next application, please ask yourself whether it’s important enough to risk your application being withdrawn from review. So I hope this helps explain why, for the above reasons and those specified by NIH, that unless the FOA explicitly states otherwise, the inclusion of even a single inappropriate hyperlink can represent a major violation of the rules governing NIH peer review and can lead to an application being withdrawn from consideration. There is also no explicit allowance for links in application sections, such as “Facilities and Other Resources” that do not have page limits.
NIH GUIDANCE FREE
In other words, you don’t get a free pass by linking to us. Of note, there are no special permissions for links to NIH or government websites.
NIH GUIDANCE FULL
Further, if hyperlinks are permitted, in the interest of transparency, the full URL must be presented and appear in blue, as in.NIH permits hyperlinks to your “MyNCBI” profile in your NIH biosketch and in the publication lists as commented on in the Hyperlinks and URLs section of the Format Attachments page.(Be sure to always read the entire text of the FOA.) If the FOA explicitly permits hyperlinks, then you may include them.But it is also important to understand there are a few exceptions to the “no hyperlinks” rule: The NIH Office of Extramural Research assembled a list of the Do’s and Don’ts of Hyperlinks, stressing the aforementioned points. This could compromise the integrity of the NIH peer review system and NIH takes all breaches of review integrity seriously. Even if this does not reveal the reviewer’s exact identity, one could make an educated guess as to whom the application is assigned based on the institution from which the IP address originated. However, a simple click on a link in a grant application can be tracked to the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the reviewer, unmasking their confidential identity. The integrity of NIH’s review system must always be protected to maintain public trust. An applicant would (rightfully!) be upset to learn that competing applications under review provided unauthorized additional material that reviewers accessed through hyperlinks. Allowing extra material in the application, accessible via hyperlinks, would unfairly benefit some applicants over others. This means we pay attention to seemingly mundane but important distinctions such as page limits, permitted font sizes, or attempts to circumvent section space limitations. For Electronic Signatures guidance/process for NIH Other Support: See resources below (SUNet Login Required through Google Drive). We strive to ensure that review criteria are applied fairly to each grant application so that no applicant receives an undue advantage. So, what’s up with NIH being so strict about hyperlinks in grant applications? It all boils down to some of the core values of NIH’s Peer Review system (PDF, 773K). From shopping to social media and even NIH Guide Notices, our modern world is one big hyperlinked, interconnected information ecosystem. NOTE: See Key Dates section of funding opportunity to determine if AIDS dates apply.Hyperlinks and URLs (or Uniform Resource Locators – who knew?) are a ubiquitous part of working or playing online.
