NIH Grants
CHANGES IN PROJECT & BUDGET
一般而言,NIH受赠人被允许一定程度的纬度来驳斥预算类别内和之间的宽容,以满足意外需求并进行其他类型的授予后变更。受赠人只能在NIH建立的限制内进行一些更改。其他更改需要在修改预算或进行有关活动之前先事先书面批准。允许的自由裁量权的程度因赠款,授予者的类型而有所不同,并通过或参与特殊计划。以下有关特定类型的奖励,活动或获奖者,概述了受赠人的授权人的启动更改以及需要NIH批准的更改。此外,个人授予了我限制受赠人的当局,以未经NIH事先批准进行预算和项目更改。如果需要NIH批准,则必须在“批准请求”下指定的资金更改或义务之前,要求并从指定的NIH GMO获得并从指定的NIH GMO获得。

EXPANDED AUTHORITIES
联邦行政要求允许机构to waive certain cost-related and administrative prior approvals; these are known as expanded authorities. In 2001, NIH extended expanded authorities to all NIH awards except for the provision to automatically carry over unobligated balances. Certain award instruments, grant programs, and types of recipients are routinely excluded from the authority to automatically carry over unobligated balances. This includes centers (P50, P60, P30, and others); cooperative agreements (U); Kirschstein-NRSA institutional research training grants (T); non-Fast Track Phase 1 SBIR and STTR awards (R43 and R41); clinical trials (regardless of activity code); and awards to individuals.
一个或多个这些当局可能被覆盖by a special term or condition of the award. Grantees must review the NoA to determine if a particular authority is withheld for a specific grant.
Grantees must exercise proper stewardship over Federal funds and ensure that costs charged to awards are allowable, allocable, reasonable, necessary, and consistently applied regardless of the source of funds. NIH may disallow the costs if it determines, through audit or otherwise, that the costs do not meet the tests of allowability, allocability, reasonableness, necessity, and consistency.
Several authorities have specific deadlines for submission of reports or for timely notification to the NIH awarding IC. Grantees should be aware that any consistent pattern of failure to adhere to those deadlines for reporting or notification will be grounds for excluding that grantee from a specific authority.
Grantee Authorities as NIH Standard Terms of Award | 例外 |
---|---|
Carryover of unobligated balances from one budget period to any subsequent period | Centers (P50, P60, P30 and others), cooperative agreements (U), Kirschstein-NRSA institutional research training grants (T), non-Fast Track Phase I SBIR and STTR awards (R43 and R41), clinical trials, and awards to individuals, or if the NoA indicates otherwise. |
Cost-related prior approval changes, including research patient care costs and equipment | The cost would result in a change of scope. |
在没有额外NIH资金(无成本扩展)的情况下扩大项目期限的最终预算期限 | The grantee has already exercised its one-time authority to extend the award for up to 12 months. |
将实质性编程工作的绩效转移给第三方(通过财团协议) | 转移将是外国组件,否则会导致范围的变化。 |
