PART 52_GRANTS FOR RESEARCH PROJECTS--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  52.6  Grant awards.



    (a) Within the limits of funds available for that purpose, the 

Secretary will award a grant to those applicants whose approved projects 

will in the Secretary's judgment best promote the purposes of the 

statute authorizing the grant and the regulations of this part. The date 

specified by the Secretary as the beginning of the project period shall 

be no later than 9 months following the date of any initial or new award 

statement unless the Secretary finds that because of the nature of a 

project or the grantee's particular circumstances earlier assurance of 

grant support is required to initiate the project. Any funds granted 

under this part shall be expended solely for the purposes for which the 

funds were granted in accordance with the approved application and 

budget, the regulations of this part, the terms and conditions of the 

award and the applicable cost principles prescribed in subpart Q of 45 

CFR part 74.

    (b) Evaluation of unapproved drug treatments for AIDS. Grants under 

section 2314 of the Act to support research relating to the evaluation 

of drug treatments for AIDS not approved by the Commissioner of Food and 

Drugs, shall be subject to appropriate scientific and ethical guidelines 

established by the Secretary for each project, pursuant to section 

2314(c) of the Act. In order to receive a grant, the applicant must 

agree to comply with those guidelines.

    (c) Notice of grant award. (1) 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.

    (2) 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 an application at the time and in the form and 

manner as the Secretary may prescribe to have support continued for each 

subsequent year.

    (3) 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.

    (d) Multiple or concurrent awards. Whenever a research project 

involves a number of different but related problems, activities or 

disciplines which require evaluation by different groups, or whenever 

support for a project could be more effectively administered by separate 

handling of separate aspects of the project, the Secretary may evaluate, 

approve and make awards pursuant to two or more concurrent applications, 

each dealing with one or more specified aspects of the project.

    (e) Unobligated balances. The Secretary may permit unobligated grant 

funds remaining in the grant account at the close of a budget period to 

be carried forward for obligation during a subsequent budget period, 

provided a continuation award is made for that period and the 

Secretary's written approval is obtained.

    (f) Award for continuation of project under new grantee. The 

Secretary, upon application in accordance with the provisions of Sec.  

52.4 and without further action by a Council or other body, may make a 

grant to any institution or other person eligible under Sec.  52.3 for 

continuation of a currently supported project for which a grant was 

previously made to another institution or person, provided the Secretary 

finds that the change in the conduct of the project is consonant with 

the previous evaluation and approval of the project under Sec.  52.5.
