4. Reminder! New Policy Eliminates Most Appendix Material for NIH/AHRQ/NIOSH Applications 
Now in effect!
Allowable Appendix Materials
For all applications:
Blank informed consent/assent forms
Blank surveys, questionnaires, and/or data collection instruments
Other items only if they are specified in the FOA as allowable
For applications proposing clinical trials (unless the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) provides other instructions for these materials):
Clinical trial protocols
Investigator's brochure from an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, as appropriate for the goals of the research proposed in the application.
No other items are allowed in the Appendix.  Simply relocating disallowed materials to other parts of the application will result in a noncompliant application (NOT-OD ).
