How does one determine which rate applies to which NIH grant?
The rates are based on calendar years and are applied as part of the payroll process. That is, for salaries charged to NIH grants in CY 2009, the cap is $196,700. For salaries paid for work performed after January 1, 2010, the cap is adjusted to $199,700. The “current cap” applies to all NIH grants regardless of when they begin or end.
