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.
