How it makes and monitors grants (Schedule I, Part IV)

Program and grants management staff invest considerable effort in providing scientific, administrative, and fiscal oversight for FNIH grants. Scientific and technical progress is monitored through semi-annual and annual reports from the grantees as well as through direct contact with investigators both by teleconference and site visits, and follow up to progress reports and site visits where scientific questions or administrative issues are identified. Scientific report submissions cover a wide range of items including individual objectives and overall progress review, milestone achievement, project plan update, and any other significant changes. Financial reporting is required annually for all of the grantees, and semi-annually for institutions that require additional oversight, such as for-profit institutions. Due diligence procedures, such as FNIH compliance with the USA Patriot Act and IRS requirements on expenditure responsibilities, have been incorporated into the reporting process to ensure that the grantees are complying with grant, legal, financial, and regulatory requirements. FELLOWS SELECTED FOR FOUNDATION FELLOWSHIPS ARE SELECTED THROUGH NATIONWIDE AND INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS.
