• February 28, 2024 - Update Related to the Issuance of the FY 2024 NIH Grants Policy Statement. See Notice NOT-OD-24-069. 

Issued by

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH)

Purpose

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announces publication of the updated NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS, rev. April 2024). 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, 2023. This update supersedes, in its entirety, the NIHGPS dated December 2022. 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, 2023.

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 (e.g., Federal Register Notices, where appropriate) since the previous version of the NIHGPS dated December 2022.

As noted in NOT-OD-24-069, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued updates to 2 CFR Part 200, with an implementation date of October 1, 2024. NIH will include the changes to 2 CFR Part 200 in the FY 2025 release of the NIHGPS, in line with the implementation date set by OMB.

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, and Federal Register Notices as appropriate.
