Sec. 65a.8  How long does grant support last?

    (a) The notice of grant award specifies how long NIEHS intends to 
support the project without requiring the grantee to recompete for 
funds. This period, called the project period, may be for 1-5 years.
    (b) 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 at the time and in the form 
and manner as the Secretary may require to have the support continued 
for each subsequent year. Decisions regarding continuation awards and 
the funding level of these 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 the Director that continued funding is in the best 
interest of the Federal Government.
    (c) Neither the approval of any application nor the award of any 
grant commits or obligates the Federal Government in any way to make any 
additional, supplemental, continuation or other award with respect to 
any approved application or portion of an approved application.
    (d) Any balance of federally obligated grant funds remaining 
unobligated by the grantee at the end of a budget period may be carried 
forward to the next budget period, for use as prescribed by the 
Director, provided a continuation award is made. If at any time during a 
budget period it becomes apparent to the Director that the amount of 
Federal funds awarded and available to the grantee for that period, 
including any unobligated balance carried forward from prior periods, 
exceeds the grantee's needs for that period, the Director may adjust the 
amounts awarded by withdrawing the excess.
