Answer from the June 2010 Nexus clarified below:
For a graduate student supported by an NIH research grant or cooperative agreement (non-NRSA), NIH will not award more than the zero level of the National Research Service Award (NRSA) stipend for postdoctoral fellows in effect at the time the grant award is issued. However, institutions may rebudget funds to charge more than the awarded amount provided that OMB cost principles requiring reasonable compensation are observed. In general, graduate student compensation will not be considered reasonable if in excess of the amount paid to a first-year postdoctoral scientist at the same institution performing comparable work. For more information, see NOT-OD-02-017.
