The CR applies the terms of the FY 2008 appropriations for the period covered by the CR. When the 111th Congress convenes in 2009, it will need to complete action for FY 2009 funding.
Until the final FY 2009 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 90% of the previously committed level). This is consistent with NIH practice during the CRs of FY 2006 – 2008. 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.
