What changed
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) has rescinded its specific policy regarding Special Council Review of Research Applications, identified as NOT-NS-24-060.

Instead, applicants are directed to adhere to the general NIH Policy on Special Council Review of Research Applications, as detailed in Notice NOT-OD-22-049. This change is administrative and does not appear to introduce new compliance burdens or deadlines, but rather consolidates review processes under a single NIH-wide policy. Compliance officers should ensure internal awareness of this change and direct researchers to the relevant NIH guidance.
