When NIH transitions to person months, in lieu of percent effort, how will NIH translate a minimum required effort into person months?
NIH does not set “minimum effort requirements” for the regular research project grants. The only NIH grants that have a minimum effort requirement are the Career Awards (K’s). To translate the minimum effort requirement for K awards (75%) based on a 12 month calendar year appointment the calculation would be 12 x .75= 9 person months.
