The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has released its latest version of their Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS, rev Oct 2018).

The HTML and PDF versions of the NIHGPS can be found at https://grants.nih.gov/policy/nihgps/index.htm.
NIH updates the NIHGPS every October to incorporate policy announcements that were released during the last year, and to clarify existing policies. Therefore, this revised NIHGPS does not introduce any new policies for the first time.
