Beginning in 2009, compensation of salary for senior project personnel will now be limited to a maximum of two months of their regular salary in any one year. This limitation is the aggregate of salary compensation received from all NSF-funded grants.  With the new policy, institutions may now use two-month allotment for faculty salaries throughout the year, and not just on summer salaries, as has been the practice.

NIH is giving you an opportunity to comment on the burden -- measured in time and cost -- of collecting, recording, and reporting financial conflict of interest information.

For background and a list of focus points for your comments, read the July 14, 2008, Federal Register notice on Regulations.gov. Your response should address conflict of interest burdens, not the policy as a whole.

Submit your comments by September 15, 2008, to Mikia Currie to the Office of Policy for Extramural Research Administration at curriem@od.nih.gov.

The previous static listings for browsing published NIH Guide announcements have been replaced with real-time database query listings that retrieve only active Requests for Applications ( RFAs ) and Program Announcements ( PAs ), based on the expiration dates stated in those announcements. The new listing for NIH Guide Notices displays Notices published over the last two years, by default, since expiration dates are not currently assigned to these announcements. Links to these new resources are available from the main NIH Guide Funding Opportunities and Notices page ( http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/index.html ).

All announcements (active plus inactive) in each category may also be viewed by using selections in the drop-down box at the top of each listing page. Clicking on header links allows re-sorting of lists. In addition, a new Ad Hoc NIH Guide Database Search page http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/search_guide.htm is available, which allows for individualized queries with various selection criteria.

If you have any difficulty obtaining the information you need from the Guide, contact Rick Francis, rick.francis@utoledo.edu, at HSC extension 4252.
