An email will go out to NIH and sub-NIH PIs shortly. A lawsuit has already been filed
against this by the AGs of 20+ states, and more will come.
In the meantime:
· Proposal Submissions: Until we issue further guidance, all NIH proposals should
continue to be submitted in accordance with UTSA’s full F&A rate. Applications for
fellowships and training grants should be submitted with their stipulated rates.
· New, Continuing, and Supplemental Awards: The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP)
will hold any NIH awards that specifically reference the 15% F&A rate until this issue
is resolved. This includes pass-through awards where UTSA is a subrecipient. OSP will not
set up pre-award accounts for these awards.
· Budget Implications: We recommend that investigators continue to prepare
proposals based on current guidelines. If changes are implemented, existing and future
budgets may need adjustments, but OSP will provide guidance to ensure a smooth
transition.
The sharepoint site has been updated, and has links to useful information on F&A.
We’re going to have to migrate the page to another address in the coming days – I’ll send
the new link when that is done.
Thanks,
Lori
