NIH Recipients’ Oversight of Domestic Subrecipients

Announced on  | Last Modified on  | Project Number: OEI-04-26-00170
Status
Active
Agency
National Institutes of Health

OBJECTIVE

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds billions of dollars in grants each year and awards more grants than any other HHS Operating or Staffing Division. NIH awards grants directly to prime recipients, who can then make subawards to additional recipients (i.e., subrecipients). The NIH Grants Policy Statement and the Office of Management and Budget’s Uniform Guidance task prime recipients with overseeing subrecipients. This evaluation will determine the extent to which NIH prime recipients adhere to select requirements for oversight of domestic subrecipients. This work will improve NIH prime recipients’ oversight of domestic subrecipients, thereby reducing opportunities for fraud, waste, and abuse in domestic NIH subawards.
