Dear Margaret,

 

I actually believe that adding a full time post doc ( using the amount of money originally dedicated to pay for the PI’s effort and FB) doesn’t require NIH prior approval unless that post doc would be a new key personnel on that project. And Of course unless such a specific requirement is indicated in the NOA.

Hope that helps

 

Kind Regards,

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [RESADM-L] NIH Prior Approval Needed?

 

Hello Margaret,

 

The RPPR requests that individuals show their effort regardless of the source of funding. If the PI is planning to remove all charges from the grant for his effort I would want the cost share to be tracked. As long as the cost share was committed and being tracked I think you may be able to avoid getting prior approval because you could still show PI effort on the RPPR. However, since the PI want to add another person to the project it may be prudent to ask for prior approval anyways, just to be safe.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH Prior Approval Needed?

 

Hi Everyone,

 

I wanted to get your thoughts on a scenario that just came up!

 

I’ve seen two schools of thought on this and need help brainstorming this one through. J

 

Three parts.

 

1. My PI submitted a budget to NIH with academic effort of 1.80 academic months per year (the project just got awarded with that level of effort as a part of the budget) he'd like to swap this to include another full-time postdoc instead (currently the second post doc is half-time).  As long as he notates in his RPPR that he will be meeting this effort commitment (unpaid as a part of his academic research commitment), will we need to go to NIH for prior approval?

 

2.  Would the unfunded effort on the RPPR be treated as cost share by NIH?

 

3. Should we just send this in to NIH and ask for prior approval?

 

Thank you!!

 

Margaret
