2) (NOTICE: NOT-OD-02-012) MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
All United States Postal Service (USPS) mail addressed to the National Institutes of Health must use the unique NIH Zip Code 20892. All USPS mail addressed to the National Library of Medicine should bear the unique NLM Zip Code of 20894. All mail using 20892 and 20894 Zip Codes will be cleared through the NIH North Stonestreet Mail Facility. This will ensure that special procedures and precautions will be used to screen the mail before it is delivered to the various NIH offices on and off campus. This is an important measure to provide for the safety of all individuals who must handle mail.
This procedure does not apply to courier deliveries (i.e. FEDEX, UPS, DHL, etc.) for the receipt of grant applications addressed to the Center for Scientific Review. The Zip Code for these deliveries is 20817. All applications and other deliveries to the Center for Scientific Review must either come via courier delivery or the USPS. Applications delivered by individuals to the Center for Scientific Review will no longer be accepted.
With regard to Type 5 progress reports, the USPS mailing label included with the face page of the report should be used. Type 5 progress reports delivered by courier should use the geographic Zip Code provided by the Institute/Center.
Mail addressed to NIEHS in North Carolina should continue to show Zip Code 27709.
This change in practice is effective immediately. The cooperation of applicant and
grantee organizations is greatly appreciated and allowances should be made for
the extra time needed to properly process incoming USPS mail and other
deliveries. (Posted 11/16/01)
