NIH EXPANDS TO SIX-DIGIT APPLICATION NUMBERS Release Date: June 24, 2002 NOTICE: NOT-OD-02-056 National Institutes of Health The growth of NIH funding has resulted in record numbers of grant applications and awards. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) reached a milestone in June with the assignment of application number CA99999. The next number assigned to NCI was the first at NIH to use 6 digits in its serial number. Application numbers are assigned sequentially within NIH Institutes and Centers. We do not anticipate other Institutes or Centers will reach six digits before FY2003. We encourage grantee institutions to alert their information systems managers to the change.
