Financial Management Plan
Updated November 21, 2008. NIH is operating under a continuing resolution through March 6, 2009; the information below may change when the Institute receives its final budget.
Competing Awards
- NIAID is fully funding competing awards and their future years. You can request up to a 3 percent escalation factor for nonmodular grants.
- Renewal budgets are capped at 20 percent over the last noncompeting award, not including equipment and alterations and renovations costs. See What is the funding cap for renewals?
Noncompeting Awards
- Until NIH receives its FY 2009 appropriation, institutes will issue noncompeting research grants at a lower level than that shown on the most recent Notice of Award
- Awards will typically be at up to 90 percent of the previous level.
- If after we receive a final budget we have the funds, we will issue revised awards that restore these monies.
- Fellowships, training grants, career development awards, conference grants, and small business awards (SBIR and STTR) will be fully funded.
Set-Aside Funds
- Selective pay -- NIAID is setting aside $9 million ($3 million for each extramural program division). Note: Investigators cannot apply for selective pay funding. NIAID's main advisory Council ranks applications recommended by Institute program staff.
- R56-Bridge awards -- NIAID is setting aside $18 million ($6 million for each extramural program division). Note: Investigators cannot apply for R56-Bridge awards but must be nominated by NIAID program officers.
