The National Institutes of Health (NIH) to Adopt Common Forms

The NIH will require the use of new common forms for “Research” and “Non-Research” biosketches, effective for application due dates and report submission dates on or after May 25, 2025. This change aims to standardize submission formats across federal agencies, simplify the application process, improve clarity, eliminate redundancies, and help reviewers better understand applicants’ qualifications and career trajectories.
