We have been told by contacts at the NIH Policy Office, that there is no more than a 2% escalation this FY.

Subject: [RESADM-L] NIH inflation allowance

Hi Folks,
Happy Friday!  I have a faculty member preparing an R21 budget with a subcontract to another institution, and that institution is using a 4% inflation allowance for out years.  When my faculty member asked why, she was told that the NIH has increased the allowance from 3% to 4%.  I am not able to find this – the last thing I’m aware of is NOT-OD-10-039 from January 8th where the NIH said they only got a 2.3% increase in their budget from the previous year and therefore were capping all increases at 2% for FY10.

Does anyone have a link to a notice increasing the allowance to 4%?

Thank you!
Best,
Kris
