Policy and Compliance

By accepting a grant award, recipients agree to comply with the requirements in the NIH Grants Policy Statement unless the notice of award states otherwise. Specific policy topics pages listed below expand upon this resource to provide additional context and resources.

NIH Grants Policy Statement

The National Institutes of Health Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) makes available, in a single document, the policy requirements that serve as the terms and conditions of NIH grant awards.

Notices of Policy Changes

Notices published in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts can supersede information in the NIH Grants Policy Statement and/or provide reminders to applicants and recipients. NIH incorporates these notices into the annual update of the NIH Grants Policy Statement.

Compliance and Oversight

Federal requirements, guidelines and resources for the extramural community involving grants compliance are provided. The information is designed to assist the extramural community in understanding the compliance obligations of their grant award and understanding the proper use of grant funds.
