II-A-3. MUAs Associated with Individual Fellowship Applications , 
Research Career Development Award Candidates (KCDA) , Research Career 
Awardees (RCA) , and National Research Service Awards . When projects 
involving recombinant DNA technology subject to the Guidelines are 
involved, fellowship applicants, KCDA candidates, RCAs, or program 
directors for National Research Service Fellowship applications must 
either file a copy of an MUA(s) already submitted to the NIH or submit a 
new MUA(s) as indicated below. MUAs for these classes of applications 
need not be filed at the time the application is submitted, but must be 
filed with the program administrator of the awarding NIH Bureau, 
Institute, or Division when an award is made and before recombinant DNA 
research is initiated. These procedures also apply to experiments using 
recombinant DNA technology in courses supported by an institutional 
fellowship. 
If a copy of an existing MUA is submitted, the fellowship 
applicant, RCDA candidate, RCA, or program director (if other than the 
Principal Investigator) must sign the MUA under the signature of the PI. 
If any recombinant DNA work is proposed other than that described 
in an existing MUA, a new or amended MUA must be submitted to NIH. 
II-B. Notation on Applications for Research and Training Grants . 
NIH application forms will be revised to include a block indicating 
whether recombinant DNA research subject to the Guidelines is involved.
