the answer… from OSP…
The NIH limitation is by council round, rather than submission date. Council rounds can be found on the NIH standard due dates page: https://grants.nih.gov/grants-process/submit/submission-policies/standard-due-dates
Here is the policy info on the limitation:

While COVID-19 surpassed the 1918 flu in raw numbers, the 1918 flu had a higher impact relative to the population at the time.
The following list ranks U.S. wars and pandemics by estimated total deaths, with normalized figures for context based on estimates of U.S. population at the time.

At £400, a household could employ a cook, housemaid and perhaps a boy servant.
Roughly £700-£1,000 a year was required to keep a carriage. With the help of Highbury’s hypochondriacs, this prize falls within the sights of Dr Perry in “Emma”. The higher income target of £2,000 is eventually met by Marianne in “Sense and Sensibility” when she marries Colonel Brandon. That amount will cover a “proper establishment of servants, a carriage, perhaps two”, and horses for hunting. To satisfy the greater demands of a Mary Crawford, eager for a second home in London, would take at least £4,000 a year. “}}

Box 1 Statistical model used in the GREML approach to estimate hS2NP The statistical model used by GREML can be described in its simplest form as y = Wu + e
where y is an n x 1 vector of standardized phenotypes with n equal to the sample size, W = {wij} is an n x m standardized SNP genotype matrix where m is the number of SNPs, u = {ui} is an m x 1 vector of the additive effects of all variants when fitted jointly in the model, u ~ N(0,Iσ2) with I being an identity matrix, u and e is a vector of residuals, e ~ N(0,Iσ2). An equivalent model is….
y=g+e
g ~ N(0,A…)
A=W W’
In practice, A is called the SNP-derived genetic (or genomic) relationship matrix (GRM) and is estimated from the SNP data. The estimate …from GREML can be described as the estimated variance explained by all the SNPs (mσu) or equivalently as the estimated genetic variance by contrasting the phenotypic similarity
between unrelated individuals to their SNP-derived genetic similarity “}}
