NIH Grants Policy Statement Revised

Posted

Your go-to source for all the terms and conditions of your NIH award, the NIH Grants Policy Statement was recently revised. This single document contains all the policy information that applies to NIH grants and cooperative agreements in one place. Since the last update in 2003, we have kept you informed of policy changes through regular communications via the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts, as well as highlighting significant changes in the Nexus. The revised version is effective for all awards issued with budget period start dates on/after October 1, 2010. The 2003 version remains in effect for all prior awards.

The 2010 revised version:

  • Incorporates all the policy changes that NIH has implemented through NIH Guide Notices since the 12/2003 version was published;
  • Includes policy clarifications, public policy requirement changes, and terminology changes;
  • Includes new chapters on multiple PD/PI and career development awards; and,
  • Includes a robust chapter and section/subsection numbering system throughout and reflects reorganization of some sections to improve usability.
