How will the use of person months affect the request for other support for competing and non-competing grant applications?
NIH uses Just-In-Time procedures for the request of other support. Information on other support assists awarding CIO staff in the identification and resolution of potential overlap of support. Overlap is not permitted, whether it is scientific, budgetary, or a commitment of an individual’s effort greater than 100 percent. Effective with PHS 398 applications prepared for submission/receipt dates on/after May 10, 2006, utilizing forms dated Rev. 4/2006, applicants will be required to report effort using the person month metric for the detailed budget. For modular applications, the Personnel Budget Justification instructions have been revised to reflect person months (calendar, academic, and summer) as the measure for effort. For this same cohort of applications (i.e., those prepared for submission/receipt dates on/after May 10, 2006), when Other Support is eventually requested, it should also reflect person months as the measure of effort.
