SINGLE NOTICE OF GRANT AWARD NIH GUIDE, Volume 23, Number 42, December 2, 1994 P.T. 34 Keywords: Grants Administration/Policy+ National Institutes of Health Recently, the awarding Institutes and Centers of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), implemented a new procedure for routinely mailing the original Notice of Grant Award (NGA) only to the administrative official identified in item number 15 on the PHS 398 application face page and item number 6 on the PHS 2590 application face page. This procedural change was implemented under a streamlining and cost savings initiative. Specifically, it has been estimated that NIH can reduce its mailing costs associated with distribution of NGAs by almost two-thirds. Consultation with grantee administrative officials indicates that this procedural change has had minimal impact at the grantee level, since organizations typically have internal distribution procedures in place. Since NIH grants are awarded to organizational entities on behalf of principal investigators, NIH expects that the administrative official identified on the application face page will immediately forward to the principal investigator a copy of the NGA, along with any special terms and conditions. It is essential that, when submitting applications to NIH, the applicant organization provide the complete name and address of the administrative official so that the NGA and other important information will be received by the grantee organization. This new procedure will routinely apply to the mailing of all types of NGAs, except Notices of Fellowship Award, which will continue to be mailed to the fellow and the sponsoring institution. NIH Institutes and Centers may elect to send additional copies of the NGA for certain award mechanisms or where other special circumstances apply. INQUIRIES Questions concerning the distribution of NGAs may be addressed to the NIH Institute or Center grants management staff identified on the award. .
