When an application due date falls on a weekend, the application deadline is automatically extended to the next business day. For example, applications due Saturday, May 11, 2024, can still be submitted on Monday, May 13, 2024, until 5 p.m. local time of the applicant organization.
Applicants should always check eRA Commons to view an application and ensure it has successfully uploaded to NIH. We always recommend you apply early to allow time should you need it for Dealing with System Issues.
See Due Dates on Holidays/Weekends/NIH Office Closure on NIH’s Submission Policies page for additional information.
