Purpose
To enable applicants to request continued support for grants whose current project
periods are coming to an end.
Procedure
Each fiscal year NIAID determines its payline and estimates the number of new and renewal awards
the Institute can pay based on its budget and anticipated grant costs.
R01s. The Institute decides each fiscal year whether to cap direct
cost increases for renewal R01 applications. For now, we expect the cap to remain at 20 percent. The renewal cap is part of NIAID's financial
management plan.
Program projects and cooperative agreements. NIAID accepts few investigator-initiated renewals of program
project applications or cooperative
agreements, which need prior
approval from NIAID. We generally budget for
five to ten program project grants each fiscal year.
Applicants
Program Officers
- Each Council, review applications requesting an increase greater
than the cap.
Determine if the issues qualify for an exception, such as costs for meeting human subjects requirements.
- Write a justification and get your division's approval.
- If your division approves, it places your request on a special actions
list for Council review.
- Be prepared to discuss your requests at Council.
Grants Management Specialists
- If Council approves funding for a special action, the budget office will issue a second release list.
- If the second Release List is issued within three months, release the full amount.
- If the second Release List is issued after three months, prorate the award based on GMP policy.
