Sec. 66.206  Grant awards.



    (a) Within the limits of funds available, the Secretary shall award 

grants to those applicants:

    (1) Whose applications have been reviewed and recommended for 

approval by the appropriate national advisory council or board;

    (2) Who have satisfied the requirements of Sec. 66.105; and

    (3) Whose proposed programs would, in the judgment of the Secretary, 

best promote the purposes of section 487(a)(1)(B) of the Act, taking 

into consideration among other pertinent factors:

    (i) The scientific, technical, or educational merit of the proposed 

program;

    (ii) The adequacy of the resources and facilities available to the 

applicant;

    (iii) The qualifications and experience of the program director and 

principal staff members;

    (iv) The degree of the need for personnel in the subject area or 

areas of the proposed research or training;

    (v) The extent to which the applicant, in making Awards, gives 

special consideration to physicians who agree to undertake a minimum of 

two years of biomedical research;

    (vi) The administrative and management capability of the applicant;

    (vii) The reasonableness of the proposed budget in relation to the 

proposed program; and

    (viii) The adequacy of the methods for monitoring and evaluating the 

performance of individual recipients and the overall program.

    (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 3-5 

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 any approved application.
