period up to 12 months.
- You must have prior
approval to carry over unobligated funds.
- Submit a written request signed by a business official.
- Include
a detailed budget (PHS 2590, Form

are needed.
- Program and grants management staff will review requests
and if approved, the grants management specialist will issue a revised
award authorizing the carryover.
Grants
Issued With Carry Over Authority -- Funded Before FY 2005
- You do not need NIAID approval to rebudget,
i.e., move funds from one budget category to another, except
for restricted categories: stipends, tuition, fees, and health
insurance. See the T32
program announcement for more information.
- You may carry over unobligated
balances to the next budget period provided the amount is reflected
in the Financial
Status Report (FSR). You may carry over but not
rebudget
unobligated trainee costs -- stipends, tuition, fees, and health
insurance -- and you may use them only for these purposes in future
years.
- You may extend the last budget period of the project period up
to 12 months without NIAID approval. The grantee business
official
must send a letter to the grants
management specialist 10 days before the termination date stating
that the grant will be extended. Include the new end date. Fax
or mail
the letter to:

Trainee Appointments
- New trainees must be initially appointed for at least nine months
except for T35 short-term training grants,
which are usually two to three month appointments.
Use one PHS-2271
Statement of Appointment form for each trainee. Reappointments
are not restricted to a minimum number of months.
- New trainees may not be appointed during a no-cost extension without prior written approval from the Grants Management Program.
Reappointments do not require prior approval.
- New NRSA postdocs must sign a PHS-6031 payback
agreement form that is submitted with the PHS-2271. Payback service
is required for the first 12 months of support and may be fulfilled
through an additional 12 months of T32, F32,
or F33 postdoc fellowship support.
- Predocs incur no payback
obligation and do not sign a payback agreement.
- Only U.S. citizens, non-citizen nationals, and permanent U.S.
residents may be appointed to a T32 or T35. Trainees with
non-citizen national status must have a valid Alien
Registration Receipt Card (I-551). Send
a notarized statement verifying permanent residency status with the
PHS-2271. Anyone on a temporary or
student visa is not eligible.
- Trainees may be appointed to the training grant on any day during
the budget period, up to and including the last day.
- Financial Status Reports: Obligate trainee
costs
for the full 12 month appointment from the budget
period
in which
the appointment began, even though the appointment may extend beyond
it. Trainee costs include stipends, tuition, fees, and health insurance for
all awards issued with funds up through FY 2006;
stipend, tuition, and
fees for FY 2007 competing awards and noncompeting awards
issued as competing in FY 2006.
- Report these funds for
trainees with appointments extending beyond the budget period
as unliquidated obligations.
- If
they are incorrectly reported as unobligated obligations, NIAID
will use them to offset
the future year award, and you will not have enough funds to support the trainees' costs in the grant year for which the FSR was submitted.
- View the appropriate NRSA Guide notice and stipend
table for stipend levels. These frequently change
from one fiscal
year
to the next. Postdocs receive the stipend level according to their
level of postdoctoral experience, usually calculated from the date
of the first doctoral degree.
- One additional trainee over the number awarded
(pre- and postdoctoral if a pre- and postdoctoral
training program)
may be appointed without NIAID prior approval. To appoint additional
trainees beyond this, you must obtain prior written
approval from the Grants Management Program. NIAID does not allow
more than two additional trainees over the number
awarded.
- By rebudgeting, you may substitute one predoc
for one postdoc or
vice versa in a
combined predoc and postdoc training program without NIAID approval.
- Short-term summer trainee slots require a Statement of Appointment
(PHS-2271).
