On February 5, 2015, the National Institutes of Health issued Interim General Grant Conditions of NIH grant awards aligned with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations implementing OMB Uniform Guidance at 45 CFR Part 75.
The document highlights Uniform Guidance grants-related changes to previous NIH grant policies that went into effect December 26, 2014. This guidance is not designed to be a full delineation of the comprehensive terms contained in the annual NIH Grants Policy Statement (GPS). NIH will release a revised version of the NIH GPS after the comment period on Interim Final Regulation is over and final revisions have been made to the regulation.
NIH has also published new Frequently Asked Questions: Uniform Guidance and NIH Interim Grant Conditions that will be of interest to UC Berkeley’s NIH researchers and campus research administrators.
NIH announced the news in an NIH Guide notice NIH Interim General Grant Conditions Implementing New HHS Grants Regulations (Uniform Guidance) (NOT-OD-15-065).
See the Sponsored Projects Office OMB Uniform Guidance page for more information on the federal Uniform Guidance.
