Resubmission Information

In order to submit a resubmission, you must mark the original funding proposal (FP) as “not funded” in SpartaGrants. This helps us keep track of resubmissions and makes less work as the resubmission FP is a copy of the original FP. 

Steps to have a proposal marked as “not funded.” 

The directions below are posted on our RADAR Canvas training site as “Changing an FP to not funded.”

  1. Click the button “Send Grants Status Update.” This box is on the left side of the home page for an FP. Click on the button “Not Funded.”
  2. The specialist assigned to your portfolio will mark the proposal as “not funded.” Please allow up to two hours for this to occur. If the request is urgent, then message your specialist. 
  3. Once the specialist has marked the proposal as not funded, the button “Create Resubmission” will appear.
  4. Click on the “Create Resubmission” box on the left side of the main menu.

Effective May 25, 2024, the guidance for marking changes in National Institutes of Health (NIH) resubmissions has changed per NIH Notice NOT-OD-24-061.

The use of markups such as bracketing, indenting, highlighting, bolding, italicizing, underlining, margin lines, change in typography, font, or font color, or any other type of markup should not be used to identify changes in resubmission applications.

Changes made to a resubmission application should only be outlined in the introduction attachment. The introduction must include a summary of substantial additions, deletions, and changes to the application. It must also include a response to weaknesses raised in the summary statement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Table of Page Limits, the introduction may not exceed one page.
