On February 5, 2015, NIH released “Interim General Grant Conditions”, which highlights Uniform Guidance (UG) related changes to grant policies and summarizes selected policies that remain in effect. It is not a full delineation of the comprehensive terms contained in the annual NIH Grants Policy Statement.
- Interim General Grant Conditions serve as the applicable terms and conditions for recipients of NIH awards and are aligned with the HHS regulations implementing the Uniform Guidance (UG). The conditions are effective for Notices of Award (NoA) issued on or after December 26, 2014 that obligate new or supplemental funds.
- Notices of Award (NoA) issued on or after December 26, 2014 that do not involve obligation of new or supplemental funds remain subject to 45 CFR Part 74.
- See also NIH's 45 CFR Part 75 related FAQs.
NIH will release a revised version of the NIH Grants Policy Statement (GPS). This will occur after the comment period on Interim Final Regulation 45 CFR Part 75 has ended and HHS has made revisions, if any, to the final regulation. For more information on HHS’s implementation of the Uniform Guidance, see 45 CFR Part 75.
