 NIH
has revised its definition of “clinical
trial” for the following reasons:
To make the distinction between clinical trials
and clinical research studies clearer, and
 To enhance the precision of the information NIH
collects, tracks, and reports on clinical trials

 The
revised definition applies to competing
grant applications submitted for the January
25, 2015 and subsequent due dates
See NOT-OD-15-015 for details

HHS issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the
submission of registration and summary results
information, including adverse event information, for
specified "applicable clinical trials" to ClinicalTrials.gov.
See NOT-OD-15-018 for details.

NIH is drafting policy to promote broad and responsible
dissemination of information on clinical trials funded by
the NIH through registration and submission of summary
results information to ClinicalTrials.gov.

See NOT-OD-15-019 for more information
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) announced
its new policy aimed at ensuring public
availability of results from NCI-supported clinical
trials. This policy, referred to as the NCI Clinical
Trial Access Policy, applies to all NCI funded
research grant, cooperative agreements, and/or
contracts that support covered interventional
clinical trials. NOT-CA-15-011
 When the final NIH Policy on Dissemination of
NIH-Funded Clinical Trial Information is
implemented, all NIH-funded investigators
including NCI investigators will be subject to the
NIH policy.

 Combines eight previously separate sets of
OMB guidance into one - Uniform
Administrative Requirements, Audit
Requirements and Cost Principles


Co-locates all related OMB guidance into
Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations
On December 19, 2014, HHS published in the
Federal Register, an interim final rule adapting
OMB’s final guidance with certain amendments,
based on existing HHS regulations, to
supplement the guidance as needed for the
Department. 45 CFR Part 75
 HHS made this interim final rule effective on
December 26, 2014.


However, HHS acknowledged that it would consider and
address comments that were received within 60 days of
the date the interim final rule was published in the
Federal Register.

Family-friendly policies allowing grantees more
flexibility to address temporary dependent-care costs
Updated rules on charging administrative and clerical
costs to grants as direct costs

rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC)
which may be used indefinitely

 NIH
is working with other Federal Research
Agencies to develop a Research Terms and
Conditions Overlay document

Overlay will serve as a companion document to
provide additional clarity for select provisions
consistent with government-wide research policy
 Until
the Overlay document is complete,
Federal Research Agencies have been
encouraged to develop their own Interim
Terms and Conditions

On February 5, 2015, NIH published interim general conditions of
NIH grant awards aligned with HHS’ regulation implementing
OMB’s Uniform Guidance at 45 CFR Part 75.

The Interim Grant General Conditions document was issued in
order to serve as the applicable terms and conditions for
recipients of NIH awards, until such time as revised Research
Terms and Conditions become effective.
 The conditions are effective for Notices of Award (NoA) issued
on or after December 26, 2014, that obligate new or
supplemental funds.
 NoAs issued on or after December 26, 2014 that do not involve
obligation of new or supplemental funds remain subject to 45
CFR Part 74 or Part 92, as applicable, until such time that new
funds are obligated.

• New requirements for NIH to initiate
“unilateral” closeout if reports are missing
or unacceptable
• New requirements which may result in a
debt obligation to the grantee
