On Friday, October 5, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a release describing how it would fund non-competing grants under the current FY 2008 continuing resolution (CR). Consistent with its policy during the CRs of FY 2006 and 2007, NIH will fund non-competing grants at a level lower than the committed level, typically at around 80 percent. Once the FY 2008 budget is determined, the agency will consider adjusting the funding level upward to an amount allowed by the budget. In FY 2007, most grants were adjusted to a final funding level of about 97 percent of the committed level.

For specific questions regarding individual adjustments, investigators should contact their Grants Management Specialist (identified on the award notice).
