HHS and PHS Operating Divisions
Considering
that both the HHS Salary Cap and PHS Financial Conflict of Interest (FCOI)
Policy are with us for the foreseeable future, please find below for reference
the lists of operating divisions that comprise each agency.
The
US Department of Health and Human
Services Organizational Chart (screenshot below) illustrates that there are
just a few extra HHS operating divisions that are not PHS.

Update to Salary Cap Notice
It
is confirmed that all Health and Human Services (HHS) operating divisions
(listed below) are subject to the new Executive Level II ($179,700) salary limitation. To date, only
NIH has issued official guidance. We will continue to monitor the affected
agencies and communicate additional information as it becomes available. In the
meantime, please refer to the NIH notice and often-updated Salary
Cap - FY2012 Frequently Asked Questions. In addition to NIH awards, OSPA
will review other HHS awards requiring adjustments to budgets and cost-shared
salary and will contact Department personnel on a project-by-project basis.
The
National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued guidance on Friday, January 20,
related to the new Executive Level II salary limitation (“salary cap”). With
passage of H.R. 2055 into law, the NIH salary cap is reduced to $179,700 (Executive Level II) from $199,700
(Executive Level I), effective December 23, 2011.
NOT-OD-12-035:
Notice of Salary Limitation on Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and Contracts
outlines the following:
·
For competing grant awards with an initial Issue
Date on or before 12/22/2011: The salary cap remains at $199,700 for the
FY2012 award period (no adjustment required). NIH will adjust future years for
these awards to reflect a salary cap of $179,700.
·
For competing grant awards with an initial Issue
Date on or after 12/23/2011: A salary cap of $179,700 applies to current
and all future years (adjustment required). NIH will revise the award.
·
Non-competing grant awards with an initial Issue Date on
or before 12/22/2011: Applicable salary cap is $199,700 (no adjustment
required).
·
Non-competing
grant awards with an initial Issue Date on or after 12/23/2011:
Applicable salary cap is $179,700. Unless otherwise restricted, grantees may
rebudget any funds freed as a result of the lower cap.
Note
that a lower salary cap raises the level of salary cost share required on a
project. OSPA is currently reviewing NIH awards and will soon contact
Department personnel regarding affected projects requiring adjustments to
budgets and cost-shared salary.
Finally,
our understanding is that
all Health and Human Services (HHS) operating divisions are subject to the new
Executive Level II salary limitation, whereas in the past only NIH,
AHRQ, and SAMHSA were affected. Guidance from these agencies is not yet
released; we are seeking
clarification and will relay information as it becomes available.
Feel
free to contact me with any questions as they arise.
