After a yearlong data-driven process, NIH unveils a transformed http://grants.nih.gov/grants/oer.htm site. The goal? To help aspiring and awarded grantees find the information they need and understand the information they find. Among the changes:

• A new “at-a-glance” How to Apply - Application Guide, which separates form instructions from grants process information
• An interactive HTML version of the newest version of the NIH application forms (known as FORMS-D), retaining a pdf version
• Consolidated information for all types of grant programs in the general instructions
• Filterable PDF versions of the general form that show only the instructions needed based on the type of grant one is applying for, whether research, career development, training, fellowships, multi-project, or small business (SBIR/STTR)
