The NIH is the principal federal agency responsible for biomedical and behavioral research and research training. As such, it is accountable to Congress and the general public for responsible stewardship of federal research dollars. Sound management of research funds requires oversight by both the recipient institution and the sponsoring agency. The relationship between NIH and its grantees is predicated on trust. The NIH expects that grantees will properly administer the sponsored activities in accordance with the applicable regulations and policies. See NIH Grants Compliance and Oversight [grants.nih.gov] for additional information.
