| NIH Extramural Nexus
The NIH Office of Extramural Research created an informative new e-newsletter titled "NIH Extramural Nexus," which contains a wealth of information that will be of great interest to NIH grantees. Subscriptions are free.
| NIH Financial Operations Web site
The NIH Office of Extramural Research has created a new "NIH's Financial Operations Website". This page provides the most recent information about NIH's financial operations plans for the current fiscal year, links to the financial management plans of NIH institutes and centers, and answers to frequently asked questions.

| Non-Competing RPG Awards
The NIH on Jan. 9 issued a notice detailing its revised grant funding policy to reflect the recently enacted appropriations bill for the agency. Non-competing RPG awards will be awarded at a level of 97.65 percent of the amount indicated for the FY 2006 budget period in the Notice of Grant Award for the previous budget year. The amounts indicated for future budget periods will also be adjusted by the same factor. Non-competing awards previously issued in FY 2006 at reduced levels up to 80 percent of the amount previously indicated (when NIH was operating under a continuing resolution) will be revised to provide a restoration of funds to the 97.65 percent level. Amounts indicated for future budget periods will be adjusted as well. The amounts provided for competing RPGs will be managed to an average award amount equal to FY 2005 levels. FY 2006 policy includes the provision of a 3 percent escalation factor in the amounts indicated for future years on competing RPG awards, which are not based on modular applications.
