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 proj ect 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.
