Thanks for doing this work, Megan. Everything that is happening is so disappointing.

Subject: NIH has quietly removed RFP's and NOT's over the past 2 weeks
I've heard through the grapevine that NIH started removing RFP's/PAR's and NOT's on Friday, 2/21 without announcing it. With some help from a colleague, I was able to create and verify the attached Excel document by searching for archived dates for HHS proposals in Grants.gov.
It's not as easy to find a list of NOT's that have been removed since you don't apply directly to NOT's, but I do know that NOT-OD-20-031 was removed (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-20-031.html).
It is out of character for NIH to end things quietly, they tend to keep the NOT/RFP online and add text that it has been rescinded/archived (here's an example of the level of detail NIH normally gives: https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-18-210.html). There is speculation in the grapevine that they may be re-released just as quietly, so this is something we might all want to keep an eye out for.
