Read articleWith Forms J in FY2027, NIH will no longer accept letters of support — the boilerplate endorsements applicants have padded proposals with for decades. Notice NOT-OD-26-094 replaces them with letters of collaboration, aligning NIH with NSF. Here is exactly what changes, what a compliant letter must now contain, who can no longer write one, and how this fits the broader re-engineering of the NIH application package.
