SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Application and Submission Information

    In FY 2007, all applications must be received by August 24, 2007. 
Applications must be received by close of business on the established 
receipt date. Late applications may be accepted under extreme 
circumstances beyond the control of the applicant. Applicants not 
received on time will not be considered for review and will generally 
be returned to the applicant.
    Applications must be submitted electronically through grants.gov. 
The application must be on SF424 R&R (Research and Related Portable 
Document Format). Exceptions may be made in unusual circumstances and 
on a case by case basis. Applicants must download the SF424 (R&R) 
application forms and 424 (R&R) Application Guide for this funding 
opportunity through grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov/Apply. Please 
note, only the forms package directly attached to this specific funding 
opportunity in grants.gov can be used.
    If electronic submission is impossible, please contact Gladys M. 
Bohler, Grants Management Specialist, at 301-827-7168 or by e-mail at 
[email protected] (See Agency Contacts). When 
submitting applications electronically, provide URL link, and identify 
any particular software that is required, and identify your 
organization contact in the event of system problems.
    For the grants.gov electronic application process, applicants are 
required to register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) 
database. This database is a government-wide warehouse of commercial 
and financial information for all organizations conducting business 
with the Federal Government.
    Registration with CCR is a requirement and is consistent with the 
government-wide management reform to create a citizen-centered Web 
presence and build e-gov infrastructures in and across agencies to 
establish a ``single face to industry.'' The preferred method for 
completing a registration is through the World Wide Web at http://www.ccr.gov. This Web site provides a CCR handbook with detailed 
information on data you will need prior to beginning the online 
registration, as well as steps to walk you through the registration 
process.
    In order to access grants.gov, an applicant will be required to 
register with the Credential Provider. Information about this is 
available at https://apply.grants.gov/OrcRegister. (FDA has verified 
the Web site address, but we are not responsible for subsequent changes 
to the Web site after this document publishes in the Federal Register.)
