NIH awards keep the rate that was in effect at the time of the type 1 or
2 grant award (new or competing).  Once they have committed your budget,
it will not be changed.  This used to be a bit scattered as to
compliance within the various I/C's but it seems to be consistent now.

Greetings!

Quick question...A-21 G.7. on Fixed rates for the life of the sponsored
agreement - if you have a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement that
provides for increases each year (example 41%, 41.5%, 42%, 42.5%), what
rate do you use for multi-year proposals? Can you use the rate that will
be
applicable for each year, or must you use the rate the will be
applicable
for the first year for all subsequent years?

I have heard this both ways...looking for clarification...

Thanks!
