Purpose
To provide
a basis for managing the budget for a fiscal
year and projecting costs for managing future budgets. Go to Budget and Funding to see the Financial Management Plan.
Procedure
NIAID's financial management plan specifies:
NIAID's financial
management plan enables the Institute to balance investigator-initiated
research and initiatives, maintain grant numbers for the long term,
keep consistency in the payline, and anticipate budget needs for future
years. It is based on NIH's cost management plan which sets general policies for NIH that lay out the parameters
of our financial management plan.
NIAID bases funding levels and grant numbers on our budget allocation
from Congress and the costs of new and continuing awards. NIAID also
has to balance congressionally mandated grant numbers with numbers of
new awards and its ability to pay continuing awards. See the Grant
Duration Policy SOP.
After receiving a budget allocation for a new fiscal year, NIH and NIAID
establish their financial management plans. NIH establishes policies
on caps for renewal grants and small business set-asides, while the
Institute sets most paylines and set-asides.
During its planning meetings, Institute management reviews Institute-funded
research in the context of the financial management plan and may modify
it during a fiscal year. Institute planning for initiatives is accomplished
with its advisory Council's advice
for science and dollar levels.
