The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Appropriation Act for 
FY 2002, Public Law 107-116, restricts the amount of direct salary of 
an individual under an NIH grant or cooperative agreement (hereafter 
referred to as a grant) or applicable contract to Executive Level I of 
the Federal Executive Pay scale.  HHS continues to operate on a 
continuing resolution (CR) through February 20, 2003.  The CR applies 
the terms of the FY 2002 appropriations into the period covered by the 
CR.  The Executive Level I annual salary rate is $166,700 for the 
period January 1 through December 31, 2002.  Effective January 1, 2003, 
the Executive Level I salary level increased to $171,900.  When the 
final FY 2003 Appropriation is enacted, we will publish our annual NIH 
Guide Notice on the legislative mandates included therein with 
additional information on the salary cap.
