Re: NEH Grant General Provisions Andy Shepard 03 Feb 2004 08:28 EST

Hello Pat,

UNH is just starting to document research related procedures and at this
time have nothing for IPAS/OPAS. Does your organization have written
procedures for prior approval that you would be willing to share with me? I
will have to draft this up fairly quickly to accept the award.

Thanks, Andy

Hi Andy,

I don't think his is a new requirement.  To the best of my knowledge,
it's always been a requirement for NEH awards.  Back in the "old
days"--prior to the 1993 revisions to A-110, all institutions had to
have an OPAS (organizational prior approval system).  NIH called it an
"IPAS"--institutional prior approval system.   OPAS and IPAS were used
when agencies had to approve rebudgeting, no cost extensions, budget
carryovers, etc.--all the things we think of as the expanded authorities
today.

You can meet this requirement if you have an existing procedure for
rebudgeting approvals and no-cost extensions.

Hello Colleagues,

For those of you that have received a new NEH grant within the last
year or
so, I want to know if the general grant provisions included a
requirement
that your organization have a written Organizational Prior Approval
System?
This seems to be a new requirement from NEH and we do not have a
written
OPAS.

I would be interested in receiving copies of written OPAS in order for
UNH
to meet this requirement, unless of course you have found a way around
this
requirement. If you want to email me directly, my email is
xxxxxx@unh.edu.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Andy
