Re: 3% yearly escalation cap on direct costs for NIH g rants Dillinger, Teresa 06 Feb 2002 13:18 EST
Go to the NIH Guide,(URL: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/index.html) and see Notice: NOT-97-005. It contains the funding strategies for NIH FY 1997. Prior to 1997, the 4% inflationary factor was used, but per the above notice, the 3% rate was instituted. I have not seen it change since 1997. Please let me know if it has changed.

We have for years (and routinely) used a 4% inflationary factor and never been questioned about it! What have we missed?!
