Greetings Colleagues,
Please see these current NIH notices that may impact your grants.
NIH: Continuing Resolutions
NOT 17-048
NIH is operating under a Continuing Resolution through April 28, 2017. This CR continues government operations at 99.8099 percent of FY 2016 level.
NIH states it will issue non-competing research grant awards at a level below that indicated on most recent Notice of Award (generally up to 90% of the previously committed level). Upward adjustments to awarded levels will be considered after FY 2017 appropriations.
NIH: Interim Salary Cap Guidance
NOT-OD-17-049
The Executive Level II salary limitation was increased from $185,100 to $187,000, effective January 8, 2017. Grantees may rebudget to accommodate the current ELII salary level.
The notice does not indicate whether new proposals should use $185,100 or $187,000. As discussed at last month’s MRAM, it is highly recommended that full IBS be used to calculate the requested salary amount.
Postdoctoral stipend levels and tuition/fees for FY 2017 are described in NOT-OD-17-003.
Until further notice, undergraduate and predoctoral stipends and tuition/fees will remain at the levels announced in NOT-OD-16-062.
Thank you,
Carol Rhodes
Director
Office of Sponsored Programs
