NIH GRANTS POLICY STATEMENT (REV. 03/01): CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS Release Date: March 20, 2001 NOTICE: NOT-OD-01-026 National Institutes of Health The purpose of this Notice is to correct and clarify some items that are included in the revised NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS), (03/01). CORRECTIONS Both corrections are in Table II-2, SUMMARY OF ACTIONS REQUIRING NIH PRIOR APPROVAL, which is on pages 106-107 of the PDF version of the NIHGPS. The effective date for the NIHGPS should read (effective 3/01). Also, in the same table, Carryover of unobligated balances from one budget period to the next should indicate YES in the column NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) (effective 3/01). CLARIFICATIONS The clarifications are in the following locations: in Part II, Requirements Affecting the Rights and Welfare of Individuals as Research Subjects, Patients, or Recipients of Services, we have included the NIH Guidance for Research on Human Fetal Tissue. This guidance was originally published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts on September 3, 1993. In addition, in Part II, Ethical and Safe Conduct in Science and Organizational Operations, we have included clarification on the topic of standards of conduct. First, we clarify that the grantee is responsible for informing the NIH Chief Grants Management Officer (CGMO) if an infraction is related to an NIH award. Also, when informing the NIH CGMO that a financial conflict of interest has been identified, the organization will assure that the interest has been addressed in accordance with the regulations by indicating whether the conflict has either been either managed, reduced, or eliminated. SUMMARY Please note these corrections and clarifications in your copy of the NIHGPS (rev. 3/01). The HTML version has been changed to reflect this Notice. The revised pages (50-53, 60-1 60-3, 106 and 107), as well as a revised Table of Contents, may be downloaded in Adobe Acrobat format from the OER Grants Policy and Guidance site, located at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/nihgps_2001/index.htm Questions about this Notice should be referred to the Grants Management Specialist identified on the Notice of Grant Award.
