Candidate Salary Requests: Although PHS grant recipients are subject to a legislatively imposed salary cap (currently $125,000), the NEI itself does not impose any special cap on salary requests. The salary request should be reasonable and conform to the established, consistently applied policy of the applicant institution for other staff members of equivalent qualifications, rank, and responsibilities. The salary request should reflect no more than the percentage of time actually devoted to the project. Research Development Support: The NEI will allow up to $20,000 per year for the research project requirements, e.g., technical personnel costs, supplies, equipment, principal investigator's travel, and tuition, fees, and books related to the career development program.
