The main questions we hear about Transparency Act reporting are:
- Who must report on subaward and executive compensation information?
Recipients of NIH grants and cooperative agreement awards must report executive compensation and subaward information only when they receive new NIH (Type 1) awards issued on or after October 1, 2010. A new award can be identified by the “1” appearing as the first digit in the award number (e.g., 1R01CA987654). This requirement currently does not include receipt of NIH Type 2, Type 3, Type 5 or other awards issued on or after October 1, 2010. - How long after my award is issued will it appear in FSRS.gov for reporting?
In most cases, awards should be available in FSRS.gov for reporting purposes within a month of the issue date listed on the Notice of Award. Submission of grant award information from NIH requires transmission through multiple government systems, including the HHS TAGGS (Tracking Accountability in Government Grants System), before it becomes available in USASpending.gov. Time is then required for USASpending.gov to successfully transmit the data to FSRS.gov; only then is it available for subaward and executive compensation reporting.
