NIH Salary Cap Increased to $191,300
- The NIH
salary cap is now $191,300.
For budgeting purposes in new NIH grant applications, we suggest
that the new salary level be used.
- Note that applications always should provide
actual institutional base salary where requested, although the
salary cap is used to calculate requested salary and to determine
funds awarded. If the salary limitation is increased, NIH will,
as a general rule, use the information available in the existing
application to make adjustments for salary cap at the time of
award. In lieu of actual base salary, applicants may provide an
explanation indicating that current institutional base salary
for a specific individual exceeds the current salary information.
NIH will not make adjustments if an application fails to provide
adequate information regarding an individual's salary level.
- Salaries and wages should be budgeted
commensurate with the proposed level of effort as defined in the
Institutional
Policy on Cost-Sharing. Make sure
to budget the salaries according to the proposed start date of
the project.
