Please note the following NIH announcement below regarding non-competing
awards funded after October 1, 2006.
We are currently noticing similar reductions (a minimum of 20% if not more)
on competing awards, with the following language included in the Notice of
Grant Award:
**NIH is currently funded through a Continuing Resolution at the FY2006
level (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-07-004.html).
Therefore, this competing award has been made at a level to commensurate with
funds available under the current Continuing Resolution. Adjustments of the
amount awarded may be considered after the final appropriation is enacted, but
expenditures should be carefully monitored during this period.**
Note that the continuing resolution now extends through February 15,
2007.

Non-Competing Grant Awards Under the Current Continuing Resolution
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice Number: NOT-OD-07-004
Key Dates
Release Date: October 6, 2006
Issued by
National Institutes of Health (NIH), (http://www.nih.gov)
The Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) continues to operate on a continuing resolution (CR) that currently
extends through November 17, 2006. The CR applies the terms of the FY 2006
appropriations for the period covered by the CR. Until the final FY 2007
appropriation is enacted, NIH will issue non-competing research grant awards at
a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award (generally up
to 80% of the previously committed level). This is consistent with our practice
during the FY 2006 Continuing Resolution (CR). NIH will consider upward
adjustments to these levels after the final appropriation is enacted, but
expects institutions to monitor their expenditures carefully during this
period.
Inquiries:
Questions regarding adjustments applied to individual grant awards may be
directed to the Grants Management Specialist identified on the Notice of
Award.
