Sec. 52c.5  Grant awards.

    (a) Within the limits of funds available, and upon such 
recommendation as may be required by law, the Secretary shall award 
grants to those applications with proposed biomedical research programs 
which will, in the Secretary's judgment, best promote the purposes of 
this part, taking into consideration among other pertinent factors:
    (1) The benefits that can be expected to accrue to the national 
effort in biomedical research and in increasing the pool of biomedical 
researchers;
    (2) The institution's capability, from a scientific and technical 
standpoint, to engage in biomedical research;
    (3) The benefits that can be expected to accrue to the institution 
and its students;
    (4) The administrative and managerial capability and competence of 
the applicant;
    (5) The availability of the facilities and resources (including 
where necessary collaborative arrangements with other institutions) to 
engage in biomedical research;
    (6) The applicant's relative need for funding; and

    (7) The overall significance of the proposal in terms of numbers of 
ethnic minority persons benefited thereby.
    (b) The notice of grant award specifies how long HHS intends to 
support the project without requiring the project to recompete for 
funds. This period, called the project period, will usually be for 1-5 
years.
    (c) Generally the grant will initially be for one year and 
subsequent continuation awards will also be for one year at a time. A 
grantee must submit a separate application to have the support continued 
for each subsequent year. Decisions regarding continuation awards and 
the funding level of such awards will be made after consideration of 
such factors as the grantee's progress and management practices, and the 
availability of funds. In all cases, continuation awards require a 
determination by HHS that continued funding is in the best interest of 
the government.
    (d) Neither the approval of any application nor the award of any 
grant commits or obligates the United States in any way to make any 
additional, supplemental, continuation, or other award with respect to 
any approved application or portion of an approved application.
