If the award is funded in 2011, these
are the amounts you will receive for
grad student compensation:
Year 1: $38,000
Year 2: $38,000
Year 3: $38,000
Year 4: $38,000
Amount you’re allowed to charge
to the NIH grant:
Year 1: $38,000
Year 2: $39,500
Year 3: $42,000
Year 4: $42,000

correct values.
For Year 2, the actual cost of grad student compensation is
$40,000. You can rebudget project funds to pay grad
student up to NIH FY2012 level, which is $39,500, but
the dept will need to pay for the remaining amount of
$500) since NIH will only fund at the zero-postdoc level at
the time of the award. No adjustments will be made to
noncompeting total cost award levels or future year
commitments.
For Year 3, the actual cost is $41,000; you only received $38,000.
You can rebudget the difference of $3000 in project costs to the
grad student compensation, since $42,000 is the FY13 NIH
zerolevel postdoc cap.
If FY14 NIH zerolevel postdoc cap remains $42,000, and the
actual cost increases to $42,300: the dept will need to cover the
$300 difference.
