Manage Your Award

There are many requirements that recipient organizations need to be aware of to ensure they are successful stewards of federal funds. NIH publishes policy updates in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts as well as updates to Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs). You should reference the NIH Grants Policy Statement and the Notice of Award (NoA) often for details on all post-award processes and requirements.
