NIH Prior Approvals Required / Request for Additional Funding

 

Discuss plans with your NIH Program Official

prior to the official process. W

	Work may not begin using the additional/supplemental funding until written notification is received from NIH, and a new SPAA is issued by OSPIP.

 

Request for Additional/Supplemental Funding

Consult with OSPIP CO to determine what kind of additional/supplemental application would be submitted in the specific situation and the method for submitting the request.

 

Internal documentation is also required when requesting additional/supplemental funding:

1. Change of Scope:
• SPPF ('Create Continuation' required in RAPID, then change the proposal type to 'Supplemental'.)
• NEPA
• OSPIP CO will get DOE approval of work and FAC waiver
2. Additional/Supplemental funds, but no change of scope:
• SPPF ('Create Continuation' required in RAPID, then change the proposal type to 'Supplemental'.)
• OSPIP CO will get DOE FAC waiver only if the total amount originally approved by DOE is exceeded

 

The OSPIP Contracts Officer will: Endorse the request and forward it to the Grants Management Specialist and NIH Program Manager specified on the Notice of Grant Award.  Distribute a copy of the endorsed request to the PI, Division Administration Staff, and the OSPIP file. Receive the revised Notice of Award or written authorization from the Grants Management Specialist Distribute the SPAA approving the change before implementation.
