Salary cap from NIH Prime

[dhit...@umn.edu]

Hi all,

I have a project that's a sub to a corporation that received an NIH Grant. Is the NIH salary cap applied to us as a sub? I assume so, but cannot find any specific language on the NIH website, nor the NOGA/NOA.

Thanks!

Yes, salary cap will apply to the subaward.  Since the latest noitce was rescinded, I am using the FY 2016 awards issued notice (NOT-OD-16-045) as my backup for this answer.

Yes, the NIH Salary Cap would apply.  All terms from the sponsor should pass through to the subcontract.  The standard subcontract agreement should say this:
 
11) The Subaward is subject to the terms and conditions of the PTE Award and other special terms and conditions, as identified in Attachment 2.
