How
do I manage changes to my grant?
You must comply with the terms and conditions of your award. Always
promptly inform your Program Director of any changes in your
study such as:
- Protocol amendments, suspensions or termination.
- Change in informed consent or IRB approval status.
- Annual IRB and IBC approvals.
- Issues related to patient accrual or retention.
- Serious adverse events.
- FDA, DSMB or OSMB communications.
- New staff human subjects training documentation.
Some changes to your study may need prior approval by NHLBI
such as:
- Spending money more than 90 days before the start date
of a new or recompeting award.
- Changing key personnel.
- Changing the grantee organization.
- Changing the status of the grantee organization.
- Adding a foreign component to a domestic organization, even
if no money will go to the foreign site.
- Taking a second extension of a final budget period.
- Changing award terms and conditions, or undertaking any
activities disapproved or restricted as a term of award.
- Using salary funds in a career (e.g., K23) award for
a new purpose.
- Having alterations and renovations exceeding $300,000
in total costs.
- Making any change in your project that
constitutes a change in scope.
You must submit a Progress Report each year in order to continue to receive funding. For more details on these reports go to “How do I manage my budget?”
