Successor-in-Interest (Type 6 Parent Clinical Trial Optional)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) hereby notify recipient organizations holding specific types of NIH grants that applications for change of recipient organization status, often referred to as Successor-In-Interest, may be submitted to this NOFO. Applications for change of recipient organization status are considered prior approval requests and will be routed for consideration directly to the Grants Management Specialist named in the current award. This funding opportunity allows organizations that are undergoing changes in organizational status to request transfer of existing NIH grants to the new organizational entity. Although successor-in-interest requests may be submitted through this NOFO, there is no guarantee that an award will be transferred to the new organization. All applicants are encouraged to discuss potential requests with the awarding IC before submission. This mechanism supports continuity of NIH-funded research during organizational transitions.
