NIH suggested cover letter format

The NIH Division of Receipt and Referral (DRR), Center for Scientific Review (CSR) strongly suggests that Principal Investigators use a specific format for cover letters requesting assignment to an Institute or Center (IC) and/or a Scientific Review Group (SRG). Officials believe that a consistent outline for the cover letter will shorten the time from submission to review. Special formatting requested by NIH include the following:

List one request per line.
Place IC and SRG review requests (if applicable) on separate lines.
Place positive and negative requests (if applicable) on separate lines.
Include name of IC or SRG, followed by a dash and the acronym.  Do not use parentheses.
Provide explanations for each request in a separate paragraph.
A sample cover letter is shown below:
