The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) continues to operate on a continuing resolution (CR) that currently extends through November 17, 2006. The CR applies the terms of the FY 2006 appropriations for the period covered by the CR.  Until the final FY 2007 appropriation is enacted, NIH will issue non-competing research grant awards at a level below that indicated on the most recent Notice of Award (generally up to 80% of the previously committed level). This is consistent with our practice during the FY 2006 Continuing Resolution (CR).  NIH will consider upward adjustments to these levels after the final appropriation is enacted, but expects institutions to monitor their expenditures carefully during this period.

Inquiries

Questions regarding adjustments applied to individual grant awards may be directed to the Grants Management Specialist identified on the Notice of Award.
