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.

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. Pat Patricia A.

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.
