NIH Implementation of Uniform Administrative Requirements for Federal Financial Assistance

The NIH notice NOT-OD-25-059 outlines the implementation of the Uniform Administrative Requirements for Federal Financial Assistance. Effective October 1, 2024, the NIH adopts revisions from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and updates grant terms and conditions. Key changes include updated definitions for Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) and equipment thresholds, and the continuation of honoring existing Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreements (NICRA) negotiated before October 1, 2024. The notice also details NIH’s approach to non-competing continuation awards and encourages cognizant agencies to renegotiate existing NICRAs.

More information from NU-RES will be coming soon.
