Budget and Funding

View Current Year Information

Check paylines after you apply to assess the likelihood of funding.

• NIAID Paylines. We now have interim paylines for all grants except T32, which does not have an interim payline.

See the financial management plan for grant funding and management policies.

• Financial Management Plan. Though NIH is operating under a continuing resolution through March 6, 2009, we now have this information.

Before applying, check the PI salary cap or stipend levels for training and fellowship awards.

• PI Salary Cap and Stipends. While we are under a continuing resolution, salary cap stays at 2008 level. Use the new level, $196,700, for future requests. No new stipends levels yet.
