Reminders of NIH Policies on Other Support and on Policies related to Financial Conflicts of Interest and Foreign Components

Notice Number: NOT-OD-19-114

Key Dates - Release Date: July 10, 2019

Related Announcements - None

Issued by - OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (OD)

Purpose

The intent of this notice is to remind the extramural community about the need to report foreign activities through documentation of other support, foreign components, and financial conflict of interest to prevent scientific, budgetary, or commitment overlap. NIH has long required full transparency for all research activities both domestic and foreign and does not consider these clarifications to be changes in policy. The requirements referenced in this Notice, along with the other obligations in the NIH Grants Policy Statement (NIHGPS) and other terms and conditions of award, are instrumental to achieving the mutual goal of NIH and the extramural community, to protect the integrity of biomedical research.
