Grants Community,
Please take note of the following federal agency
announcements:
National Institutes of
Health (NIH) issued NOT-OD-15-087 regarding publication of a revised NIH Grants
Policy Statement (GPS), dated 3/31/2015. The revised NIH GPS is effective for
all NIH grants and cooperative agreements with a budget period beginning on or
after December 26, 2014, and awards receiving supplemental funds on or after
that date. The 3/31/2015 revision supersedes, in its entirety, the NIH Grants
Policy Statement (10/01/2013) and the NIH Interim General Grant Conditions
(2/5/2015) as a standard term and condition of the award. A “Significant Changes” document summarizes the revision: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps/Significant_Changes_NIHGPS.pdf
National
Science Foundation (NSF) issued a set of frequently asked questions (FAQs) on its
implementation the OMB Uniform Guidance. The FAQs will be updated
periodically as additional questions arise. http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/faqs/faqs_2cfr200.pdf
The OMB
Uniform Guidance page on the OSPA website is revised to reflect these
updates. Should you have questions about the applicability
of the policies to current or anticipated projects, please contact your OSPA Pre-Award
or Post-Award
staff.
