NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces publication of the updated NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS, rev. December 2022). The NIHGPS provides both up-to-date policy guidance that serves as NIH standard terms and conditions of award for all NIH grants and cooperative agreements, and extensive guidance to those who are interested in pursuing NIH grants.
This update is applicable to all NIH grants and cooperative agreements with budget periods beginning on or after October 1, 2022. This update supersedes, in its entirety, the NIHGPS dated December 2021. Previous versions of the NIHGPS remain applicable as standard terms and conditions of award for all NIH grants and cooperative agreements with budget periods that began prior to October 1, 2022.
This update incorporates new and modified requirements, clarifies certain policies, and implements changes in statutes, regulations, and policies that have been implemented through appropriate legal and/or policy processes since the previous version of the NIHGPS dated December 2021.
The requirements set out in the NIHGPS are aligned with 2 CFR Part 200, as implemented for HHS at 45 CFR Part 75, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards. Also refer to NIHs implementation of the federal-wide Research Terms and Conditions (RTCs).
The current version of the NIHGPS, in both HTML and PDF formats, as well as previous versions of the NIHGPS and documents summarizing significant changes implemented with each revision, are available on the NIH Grants Policy website.
NIH will continue to publish interim grants policy changes and/or clarifications through the issuance of NIH Guide Notices, available on the Notices of NIH Policy Changes website.
