Prior Approval - Other Request
The Other Request type is used in different ways depending on the agency providing the award. Prior Approval "Other Request" can be used for both FDA and NIH awards. The Other Request type appears only for signing officials (SOs) and does not appear for program directors/principal investigators (PD/PIs).
For FDA awards, the Other Request type provides a generic request type for an SO to make requests for FDA grants. All FDA grants are eligible for the Other Request type.
For NIH awards, reach out to your Grants Management Staff (GMS) or Program Officer (PO) for instructions on when to use the Other Request type. NIH awardees should NOT use the Prior Approval "Other Request" type to submit updates to their approved Data Management and Sharing (DMS) Plan. Instead, they should use the DMS Request type to submit an updated DMS Plan; see Prior Approval - DMS Request.
