Reminder: Use of Hyperlinks and Formatting for NIH Proposals

Please remember hyperlinks are only allowed in NIH proposals when explicitly requested in application guide, funding opportunity, or NIH Guide Notice instructions.

NIH posted “Do’s” and “Don’ts” for Hyperlinks here:

NIH’s complete formatting guidelines can be found here:

NIH may withdraw your application from consideration if the formatting guidelines are not followed.
