Audit of NIH Oversight of Grant Award Recipients’ Compliance with Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 Subaward Reporting Requirements

Agency

OBJECTIVE

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) requires prime grant award recipients of Federal funds to report information on Federal awards and subawards on a public, single, searchable website, USAspending.gov. The prime grant award recipients report data elements including subaward amount, funding agency, subaward data, and a description of the subaward’s purpose. Prior HHS-OIG and other Federal audits identified concerns with prime grant award recipient compliance with FFATA reporting requirements, including the accuracy and completeness of the data reported. We will determine whether NIH monitored prime grant award recipients’ compliance with requirements for reporting subawards.
