We submit several proposals/year to NEI and salary escalations are routinely stripped at award.  They don't kill the proposal (have not yet killed.....) but are never allowed at award stage.

Happy Friday everyone!

Question about COLAs on NIH grant applications: We know that NIH does not have a policy on salary escalations but that the general understanding among research administrators is not to include COLAs because they are routinely denied. I've found that some institutions have the practice of including 2% COLAs but I can't find this percentage in NIH's guidance. 

I have also heard that it depends on the IC. Does anyone have any experience with the National Eye Institute and if they are open to including these escalations for salary? 

Thank you!

Best,
Pamela
