Budgeting the increases also helps NIH gauge the real costs of science (and communicate that to our elected representatives).  Years ago when they first raised the $125K salary cap, NIH said they weren't sure how much to increase because so few of us had listed the actual salaries in the detail budgets.  We just capped IBS at $125K to avoid a possible math error and thus save our white-out tape.

Jackie,

I am continuing to add the increases to budgets submitted by my department.  NIH stated that the increases for future years would be discontinued but that doesn't mean that they won't be reinstated at a later date.  If you don't ask, you'll never get it should they be reinstated.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Inflationary Increase

Based on the statement in the NIH Fiscal Policy for Grant Awards - FY 2012, Notice Number NOT-OD-12-036 that reads "Inflationary increases for future year commitments will be discontinued for all competing and non-competing research grant awards issued in FY 2012," can you tell me if your institution is flat-lining the salaries for all years of the award based on the year one salary for each individual or how you are handling this requirement?

Thank you
